Daring men and women aren't just found in the pages of fictional stories. In fact, history offers us a number of examples of people who stood up for what was right in the face of significant opposition. Their stories can inspire us to also be courageous when the situation calls for it. Whether the problem is a large one, like a dictatorial state or a cultural prejudice, or a small one, such as standing up to a bully, we can resolve to be a hero and fight for what is right. That's why the stories in this book are so impactful--they offer us an opportunity to learn lessons from the lives of a wide variety of people and ponder how we might have acted in a similar situation. These heroes often stand out because so many of their peers failed to act likewise. Sadly, too few seem to have the courage to oppose something that is wrong. But these stories can help us prepare to be counted as someone who will choose the right!

A unique retelling of a classic Mayan legend, the adventures of the Hero Twins, is rescued from a tattered 150-year-old expedition journal and translated into English. In October of 1864, one Armando Hernán de Antigua, a Veracruz writer and adventurer, traveled to the ruins of Yaxchilan to meet a Quiché shaman, don Hun Batz, to hear from him the story of Hunahpu and Xbalanque, the famous Hero Twins of Popol Vuh. At Yaxchilan, don Armando captured the entire oral interpretation of this classic Maya legend in his expedition journal. More than 150 years later, the present writer was fortunate to discover this precious diary at a small Veracruz flea market. Eventually, he was able to translate the journal and to prepare it for publication. Hunahpu and Xbalanque is a fascinating, gripping saga of the adventurous Hero Twins, as they battle for their lives in the depths of the Mayan Xibalba. It is retold in an intimate, personal manner, the way an ancient Mayan grandfather would have told it to his eagerly listening grandchildren--somewhere in the pristine jungles of Guatemala. --The Publisher

This examination of the heroic journey in world mythology casts the protagonist as a personification of nature--a "botanical hero" one might say--who begins the quest in a metaphorical seed-like state, then sprouts into a period of verdant strength. But the hero must face a mythic underworld where he or she contends with mortality and sacrifice--embracing death as a part of life. For centuries, humans have sought superiority over nature, yet the botanical hero finds nothing is lost by recognizing that one is merely a part of nature. Instead, a cyclical promise of continuous life is realized, in which no element fully disappears, and the hero's message is not to dwell on death.
