Sinossi

"The conclusion was undeniable: If I wanted to stay alive, I would have to become a chimera" This novel begins with the aim of understanding the transformations I was undergoing as I became a human chimera, medical term used for persons who have received an organ transplant. The name comes from the mythological monster composed of the union of several animals. Patients who suffer through a transplant procedure also feel like a monster as their body goes through a drastic and painful transformation. This book intends to understand this process by blending historical reviews, fiction stories, and autobiographical accounts.
The chapters combine different styles and provide distinct approaches to a complex topic, helping the reader to understand the meaning of these recently developed human beings. Even more, the book expands the term and provides examples of architectural and geopolitical chimeras showing that generating new creatures by merging two realities may help to solve previously unsolvable problems. In fact, this book in itself is a linguistic chimera that relies on the union of different views to bring to the present this ancient word.

    "[Narrator George] Newbern's clear voice and appealing staccato delivery move well from phrase to phrase, keeping listeners' interest." —AudioFile on The Heart of Everything That IsTom Clavin's Follow Me to Hell is the explosive true story of how legendary Ranger Leander McNelly and his men brought justice to a lawless Texan frontier.In turbulent 1870s Texas, the revered and fearless Ranger Leander McNelly led his men in one dramatic campaign after another, throwing cattle thieves, desperadoes, border ruffians, and other dangerous criminals into jail or, if that's how they wanted it, six feet under. They would stop at nothing in pursuit of justice, even sending 26 Rangers across the border to retrieve stolen cattle—taking on hundreds of Mexican troops with nothing but their Sharps rifles and six-guns. The nation came to call them “McNelly’s Rangers.”Set against the backdrop of 200 years of thrilling Texas Rangers history, this spine-tingler takes listeners into the tough life along the Texas border that was tamed by a courageous, yet doomed, captain and his team of fearless men.It was one hell of a ride!A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    Ten essays on how reading and meaningfully engaging with literature can help us live better, more purposeful lives. 
    How do we live fully? 
    How do we live successfully? 
    Adrift in an anchorless world, we often worry about where we are heading. What meaning can we hope to find our modern, secular life? The answer, Ben Hutchinson explains, can be found by looking to writers and thinkers to help us live more purposefully, more mindfully – more fully. 
    Interweaving his own (mis-)adventures with those of authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust and Joan Didion, On Purpose proposes ten ways in which reading and writing encourage us to ask difficult questions, project our minds into the past and future, and see ourselves and others differently. 
    Engaging, uplifting and aphoristic, this book is for anyone who has lost their sense of direction or wishes to radically transform the way they live. 
    Ben Hutchinson's On Purpose is a non-fiction collection of essays that combines philosophy, ethics, and literary criticism to explore the concept of happiness. This top-rated book is a testament to the power of literature in personal growth and self-help. 
    For fans of Mary Beard (Confronting the Classics), Gary Gutting (Talking God), Terry Eagleton (Ideology), Nedra Glover Tawwab (Set Boundaries, Find Peace), and Catherine Belsey (A Future for Criticism).
