As "a reimagining of the longing for liberty in our myths, tales, fables, and traditions" the texts in Myths of Our Humanity: Tales from Forever for Today rewrite old recognizable stories in contemporary form to illustrate, in a familiar manner, modern ideas focused on the underpinnings of liberal democracy. The book thus becomes an exploration of humanity's longing for liberty as embedded in our myths, tales, fables, and traditions.

Its main body consists of thirteen "vignettes" which use an archetypal tale or tradition to illustrate various modern ideas and concepts associated to the practice of democracy and its condition of liberty and the dangers they permanently face by their major rival, autocracy. The vignettes are accompanied by illustrations by contemporary artists from around the world, as well as from major museums and galleries.

The book is unique in that it uses different styles and writing formats for each vignette, including a "news report," a graphic novel, a corporate memo, introspective eye, universal eye, etc. It was also written simultaneously (not translated) in English and Spanish, presenting both in one volume.

In its pages are featured the work of extraordinary artists from around the world: Mimi Abers, Annika Connor, Marc Lafia, Itamar Mart?nez, Jos? Rafael P?ez, Rolando Pe?a, Magdalena Rangel, Nuria Rom?n, and Andr?s Salazar. The museums and galleries that authorized reproductions of art in their collections are the Museo del Prado (Madrid, Spain), Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia, USA), and the Gallerie degli Uffizi (Florence, Italy).

Como "una reimaginaci?n del anhelo de libertad en nuestros mitos, relatos, f?bulas y tradiciones", los textos de Mitos de nuestra humanidad: Relatos de siempre para hoy reescriben reconocibles historias antiguas en forma contempor?nea para ilustrar, de manera familiar, ideas modernas centradas en los fundamentos de la democracia liberal. El libro se convierte as? en una exploraci?n del anhelo de libertad de la humanidad, tal como se puede encontrar inserto en nuestros mitos, cuentos, f?bulas y tradiciones.

Su desarrollo principal se hace en trece "vi?etas" que utilizan un cuento o tradici?n arquet?pica para ilustrar diversas ideas y conceptos modernos asociados con la pr?ctica de la democracia y la condici?n de libertad, y los peligros que enfrentan de manera constante ante su rival principal, la autocracia. Las vi?etas est?n y acompa?adas con ilustraciones de artistas contempor?neos de todo el mundo, as? como de grandes museos y galer?as.

El libro es ?nico en que utiliza diferentes formatos y estilos de escritura para cada vi?eta, incluyendo un "reportaje de noticias", una historieta gr?fica, un memor?ndum corporativo, la mirada introspectiva, la mirada universal, etc. Tambi?n fue escrito simult?neamente (no traducido) en ingl?s y espa?ol, presentando ambos idiomas en un solo volumen.

Se destaca en sus p?ginas la obra de extraordinarios artistas de alrededor del mundo: Mimi Abers, Annika Connor, Marc Lafia, Itamar Mart?nez, Jos? Rafael P?ez, Rolando Pe?a, Magdalena Rangel, Nuria Rom?n, y Andr?s Salazar. Los museos y galer?as que autorizaron la reproducci?n de obras de arte en su colecci?n son el Museo del Prado (Madrid, Espa?a), el Museo de Are de Filadelfia (Filadelfia, EE.UU.), y las Gallerie degli Uffizi (Florencia, Italia).
