-Titulo Original : The Pursuit of God-Fabricante : Blurb-Descripcion Original: The Pursuit of God is a religious studies/Christian studies text that has this passage included: Here is a masterly study of the inner life by a heart thirsting after God, eager to grasp at least the outskirts of His ways, the abyss of His love for sinners, and the height of His unapproachable majesty--and it was written by a busy pastor in Chicago! Who could imagine David writing the twenty-third Psalm on South Halsted Street, or a medieval mystic finding inspiration in a small study on the second floor of a frame house on that vast, flat checker-board of endless streets Where cross the crowded ways of life Where sound the cries of race and clan, In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed threshold dark with fears, And paths where hide the lures of greed ...

Even so it was, when the serpent breathed the poison of his pride, the desire to be as God, into the hearts of our first parents, that they too fell from their high estate into all the wretchedness in which man is now sun...

-Titulo Original : El privilegio de pensar -Fabricante : Blurb-Descripcion Original: Si pensar ha sido siempre el producto de una lucha y, a veces, como en el caso de Cioran, de una desesperacion, en el libro de Jorge Brioso podria asegurarse que es el resultado de una serenitas. De un pensar desde la no violencia. Y no porque no haya choque o lucha o esfuerzo en El privilegio de pensar. Filosofia y poesia en las dos orillas del Atlantico, sino, porque las interrelaciones entre literatura, tradicion, teoria, paradigma, goce, estan ya tan asumidas, que hablar del tranvia de Ortega, de la Antigona de Zambrano, del Casal de Lezama o del Paris de Benjamin ese de los Pasajes que tanto le gustaba al berlines , resulta tan natural, que mas que sobre libros o conceptos, pareceria que estamos hablando sobre la vida misma, sobre lo maravilloso que resulta salir del dentista con uno o dos empastes de mas...
