  "Too much sanity may be madness—and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"
  
  Enter the world of the original mad genius, Don Quixote. Miguel de Cervantes' towering masterpiece is not just the first modern novel; it's a timeless, hilarious, and deeply moving saga that has influenced literature for over four centuries.
  
  Alonso Quijano, a Spanish nobleman, reads too many chivalric romances and decides to resurrect the age of knights. Renaming himself Don Quixote of La Mancha, he sets off on absurd adventures, mistaking windmills for giants, innkeepers for lords, and peasant girls for his noble lady, Dulcinea.
  
  Accompanied by his pragmatic (and increasingly philosophical) squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote's quest is a brilliant exploration of:
  
  Illusion vs. Reality: The tragicomic battle between what is and what we wish it to be.
  
  The Power of Imagination: A defense of dreams and idealism in a cynical world.
  
  The Dawn of the Novel: A foundational text of Spanish literature that effortlessly blends humor, adventure, and profound commentary.
  
  Whether you're engaging with a modern translation like Edith Grossman or the classic Smollett, the core truth remains: Don Quixote is an essential read.
  
  Dare to dream the impossible dream. Click "Buy Now" and join the knight-errant and his loyal squire on their hilarious journey.

  The Eternal Tao Te Ching - The...

  From Benjamin Hoff, author of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet, which have sold millions of copies worldwide, comes The Eternal Tao Te Ching, a new translation of the Chinese philosophical classic, the Tao Te Ching. 
   
   
   
  The Eternal Tao Te Ching is the first translation to employ the meanings of the pre-writing brush characters in use 2,400 years ago, when the classic was written, rather than relying on the often different meanings of the more modern brush characters, as other translations have done. Hoff points out in his chapter notes the many incidents of meddling and muddling that have been made over the centuries by scholars and copyists, and he corrects the mistakes and removes such tampering from the text. Hoff also makes the provocative claim—and demonstrates by revealing clues in the text—that the author of Tao Te Ching was a young nobleman hiding his identity, rather than the long alleged author, the "Old Master" of legend, Lao-tzu. And Hoff's chapter notes shed new light on the author's surprisingly modern viewpoint. This is a unique, and uniquely accessible, presentation of the Tao Te Ching.

  Rethinking Fandom - How to Beat...

  “Modern fandom is rubbish, and Calcaterra explains why, but in so doing, also shows us the way out of our desensitized, corporate, laundry-hugging ways.” —Keith Law, The Athletic   Sports fandom isn’t what it used to be. Owners and executives increasingly count on the blind loyalty of their fans and too often act against the team’s best interest. Sports fans are left deliberating not only mismanagement, but also political, health, and ethical issues.   In Rethinking Fandom, sportswriter (and lifelong sports fan) Craig Calcaterra outlines endemic problems with what he calls the Sports-Industrial Complex, such as intentionally tanking a season to get a high draft pick, scamming local governments to build cushy new stadiums, actively subverting the players, bad stadium deals, racism, concussions, and more. But he doesn’t give up on professional sports. In the second half of the book, he proposes strategies to reclaim joy in fandom: rooting for players instead of teams, being a fair-weather fan, becoming an activist, and other clever solutions.   With his characteristic wit and piercing commentary, Calcaterra argues that fans have more power than they realize to change how their teams behave.  “If you’re like me and love sports but have become increasingly dismayed by the ‘sports-industrial complex,’ Calcaterra’s book will prove a balm that allows you to hold onto that fandom without turning a blind eye to the myriad problems and sources of exploitation on the field.” —John Warner, The Chicago Tribune  “Rather than simply criticizing, Calcaterra provides positive solutions to help us form a healthier and more thoughtful relationship with the sports we love. A vital book for any sports fan in the 21st century.” —Mike Duncan, New York Times–bestselling author
