MYTHS OF OUR HUMANITY/ MITOS DE NUESTRA HUMANIDAD

Tales From Forever for Today/Relatos de Siempre para Hoy

Author Carlos J.Rangel statement:

Sometime ago I was reflecting on the sacrifices so many have made in the cause of liberty and freedom as I came across an image of Rubens and Snyder’s “Prometheus Bound.”  That is when an idea began forming in my mind: to tap into familiar myths, legends, and tales to convey liberal ideas, in the 18th century and Hayek’s meanings.After a few years of rewrites and polishing, and after teaming up with a set of outstanding artists and museums, the book I conceived back then is finally ready and published. It is tagged as “a reimagining of the longing for liberty in our myths, tales, fables and traditions.” ...A few extracts from the Foreword and the Afterword help describe the book:
[The book is] “A hybrid creature begat from political essays intertwined with political fiction...”
“…simultaneously written in English and Spanish, including both texts in the same volume, with the intention of serving both audiences of this multiverse which I straddle daily.”
“Liberalism did not sprout out of nowhere. Its roots, and some demons, can be found in [the] myths, legends and fables which have shaped our minds for millennia.”
“I realized the need for illustrations to accompany the text when it taps into the myths and tales, because in our minds we already have imprinted images of them.”
“The selection of seemingly disparate stories is used to develop a single theme: the duality autocracy/democracy from various angles and within a simple narrative.”

Here are the links I recommend using to get the book directly from its distributor, Ingram Spark (best deal) in the DELUXE EDITION, with high quality art plates, or as a PAPERBACK. Through these links you may order the book in the U.S., Canada, the E.U., the U.K., Australia, Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, and Singapore at this time. The book is also available in both formats for purchase at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online retailers, as well as by requesting it from your preferred local bookstore.

I hope you get the chance to read this book about that complex and chaotic thing we call liberal democracy and which, as Winston Churchill said, is the worst form of government except for all the rest.
