French national Béatrice Saubin, born September 7, 1959 in Romilly-sur-Seine, then 20 and traveling through Asia, was set up by her Chinese lover, arrested for trafficking heroin, and sentenced to death by hanging. After much worldwide publicity, a prominent attorney helped her appeal her case, which at first resulted in transmutation of her sentence into life imprisonment in a hellhole of a Malaysian prison. Through tireless work by friends, relatives, attorneys, and the French government, her appeal was at last granted, and after 10 years, she was released. So much for her legal story, but what happened to the spirit of this young woman unjustly imprisoned during her entire third decade? As Saubin's extremely well written report attests as it takes us inside both prison walls and the min... Biography of Jean-Baptiste Colbert
Jean-Baptiste Colbert (August 29, 1619 – September 6, 1683) served as the French minister of finance from 1665 to 1683 under the rule of King Louis XIV. He was described by Mme de Sévigné as « Le Nord » as he was cold and unemotional. His relentless hard work and thriftiness made him an esteemed minister. He achieved a reputation for his work of improving the state of French manufacturing and bringing the economy back from the brink of bankruptcy. Historians note that, despite Colbert's efforts, France actually became increasingly impoverished because of the King's excessive spending on wars. Colbert worked to create a favourable balance of trade and increase France's colonial holdings. Historians of mercantilism consider Colbert a key figure. Colbert's market reforms included the impor... Biography of Stéphane Audran
