    Handpicked works from the greatest Argentinian writer of the twentieth century. “Without Borges the modern Latin American novel simply would not exist” (Carlos Fuentes, author and diplomat).   After almost a half a century of scrupulous devotion to his art, Jorge Luis Borges personally compiled this anthology of his work—short stories, essays, poems, and brief mordant “sketches,” which, in Borges’s hands, take on the dimensions of a genre unique in modern letters.   In this anthology, the author has put together those pieces on which he would like his reputation to rest; they are not arranged chronologically, but with an eye to their “sympathies and differences.” A Personal Anthology, therefore, is not merely a collection, but a new composition.   “An important work, by far the best yet available to the reader . . . who seeks a representative sampling of the great Argentine writer . . . the standard introduction to Borges in England and the United States.” —Saturday Review

    “I am exploring the mindset that leads adventurous people into taking risks. Why did I have to climb the Everest, or hang from a rock wall, or run swelling white-water rapids.” 
     
    James Ramsey Ullman wrote: “Risk is essential, there is no growth in what is safe and comfortable.” Why do so many of us live by this standard? The nature of exploration dictates that there may be many unknown confrontations with risk that are beyond our control, yet we are willing to take on those uncertainties. Why? Primordial Soup explores the basic instincts and drive that motivate the author into his personal interactions with risk. From the disaster on Everest to a simple backyard swing, this story relates the relationship with risk and also death.

    He walked on the face of the earth over 2000 years ago and changed human history for time and eternity. Nearly 2.4 billion Christians know him as Jesus Christ, Son of God, Son of Man and Savior of the world. Other billions recognize him as a great prophet and philosopher. Drawing from the four gospel accounts and using “sanctified imagination”, this book chronicles the incredible life of Jesus. It tells the story of His miraculous conception and birth; his childhood; his magnificent ministry with a band of 12 ordinary men and his death and glorious resurrection.This book presents an easy-to-read, novelized life of the most famous man that ever lived. It is  written for Christians and non-Christians alike and tells the story of Jesus as the Son of Man, without diminishing his unique heritage as the Son of God. Perhaps when you get to know “The Man of Galilee”, you would also seek “The Prince of Peace.” If you know Jesus already, I hope this book will be an entertaining reminder of what he went through on behalf of all of us.
