The only certainty in life is death. Even the most powerful leaders throughout history were unable to cheat the Grim Reaper. World leaders, whether revered or reviled, are rarely allowed to exit gracefully from life but instead receive a state funeral, a major international event incorporating splendid symbols and messages, religious faith, and tradition. The body of Tsar Alexander III was carried across half of Russia before finally being buried in St. Petersburg. People paid obscene amounts of money for a room that gave a glimpse of Queen Victoria's fascinating State funeral. The cortège for China's Empress-Dowager Cixi was not to be photographed - nevertheless photos showed up a century later. For political reasons Generalissimo Franco's body was exhumed decades after his death. The world became acquainted with a rather unusual ancient Roman Catholic ritual, when Pope John Paul I died. The body of India's Indira Gandhi was confined to sacred flames. The last journey of Marshal Tito turned into an event of "Funeral Diplomacy", whilst Khomeini's funeral ended in frenzy and tumult. In 2021 the massive restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic meant a rigid downsizing of Prince Philip's funeral, hardly any guests were allowed to attend. This revealing and entertaining book provides an insight into unique obsequies from across the world, seen as both a celebration of life and the honouring of death.

History tells us a story of an unwanted child born legally blind to an affluent family. The middle of three sisters and rejected by each of them. My mother gave me to a governess for the first three years, and after that, I was raised by housekeepers. My mother always reminded me that I was an accident and didnt want to take care of me. And she was also extremely ashamed of my disability. She was too embarrassed to let me wear glasses even though the doctor advised that I wear them at the age of two. I was indoctrinated into life with limited vision until the age of 6 when the school insisted I wear glasses. I learned to cope with my poor vision by feel and inadvertently I learned to see with my soul.
