Stories Rarely Told

"This book is a polyphonic orchestra, not the kind you can usually read in the textbooks in History-monophonic and monotonic because the only voice you hear is the authors voice. It only sounds like a clerk of court reading the proceedings. This book is different. You hear lots of voices in a narrative concert, and the author is the conductor of the polyphony. The conceit is from Literature." -Florentino H. Hornedo, Ph.D. From the Foreword
