Malleable, transformable, il n`est plus qu`un corps sans ame entre les mains d`un esprit diabolique dont le genie tient avant tout a son manque de scrupule.

Much more than just a memoir, this is Richard Branson`s own take on his extraordinary life so far - and a definitive business guide that reveals his unique philosophy on commerce, success and life. Richard looks back on how Virgin grew from a mail-order music business into the global brand it is today, and how, rather like his balloon flights, the years have been as much about endurance and survival as they have been about runaway success.
