There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss. Stemming from his own growing obsession, Wilson moves far beyond the “noble grapes,” hunting down obscure and underappreciated wines from Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, and beyond. In the process, he looks at why these wines fell out of favor (or never gained it in the first place), what it means to be obscure, and how geopolitics, economics, and fashion have changed what we drink. A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine.

Sanger Rainsford is a big-game hunter, who finds himself washed up on an island owned by the eccentric General Zaroff.

When he protests, Rainsford the hunter becomes Rainsford the hunted. Sharing similarities with "The Hunger Games", starring Jennifer Lawrence, this is the story that created the template for pitting man against man.

In Godforsaken, Sophia is the creator of the universe and everything in it. She roamed this planet with nothing except the four elements. Throughout centuries of loneliness, Sophia began creating life to enjoy all the natural splendors; but something unforeseen happened. Among her many creations, Sophia was overcome by a strange feeling, it was love. Sophia ended up falling for the one man she could not have, because Lucifer is the one man she could not control. Despite their opposing natures, Sophia and Lucifer gave their love a try. As time went on, Sophia grew distant, but not by choice. She had an obligation to preserve humanity, after the success of her latest creation, humans. Lucifer grew weary of humans, feeling jealous of the attention they were receiving. In a desperate act of love, Lucifer killed the first humans Sophia created, and the result was contrary to what he had hoped. Sophia left him, bringing on the ice age through the coldness of her heart. As time went by Sophia traveled the Earth protecting her creations from her devious ex, avoiding all possible contact with him. One day Sophia unexpectedly bumps into Lucifer, and the reunion brought up a mixture of feelings. Though she was able to suppress her love all these years, the lack of his presence made it easy; but seeing him again left her in emotional turmoil. She was left with a crucial decision, should she give the man she loves a second chance. Could the world survive without a god, or can someone survive without love? Her decision would have tremendous repercussions; we'll get to see what happens when god puts herself before everyone else.
