In a world where destroying art is forbidden, mistakes are not easily erased. The Tower of Theo is the story of how tribulation withered the endurance of three men's friendship: Leander, the rational artist; Demetrius, the sentimental confidant; and Theo, the imaginative adventurist. The past comes back to haunt the trio, and the stakes rise when the artists' creations emerge from the canvas, bringing their paintings, and their pasts, to life. After two decades of severed communications following an untimely death, a letter from Theo arrives at Demetrius' doorstep as an invitation to heal old wounds. Though Leander warns Demetrius of possible ulterior motives, Demetrius is entirely consumed by the possibility of mending their brotherly bond. The road to reunion is paved with exhausting physical obstacles and even more debilitating mental trials. Each man is uniquely conflicted by an effort to do what he believes is right while also concealing the truth of what happened on that cursed day over twenty years ago, until revelation becomes inevitable. Never could they have imagined their closest companions and creations becoming their ultimate demise, demolishing what each man spent his whole life building.

Every culture is a unique answer to a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human and alive? In The Wayfinders, renowned anthropologist, winner of the prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize, and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Wade Davis leads us on a thrilling journey to celebrate the wisdom of the world's indigenous cultures. In Polynesia we set sail with navigators whose ancestors settled the Pacific ten centuries before Christ. In the Amazon we meet the descendants of a true lost civilization, the Peoples of the Anaconda. In the Andes we discover that the earth really is alive, while in Australia we experience Dreamtime, the all-embracing philosophy of the first humans to walk out of Africa. We then travel to Nepal, where we encounter a wisdom hero, a Bodhisattva, who emerges from forty-five years of Buddhist retreat and solitude. And finally we settle in Borneo, where the last rainforest nomads struggle to survive. Understanding the lessons of this journey will be our mission for the next century. For at risk is the human legacy -- a vast archive of knowledge and expertise, a catalogue of the imagination. Rediscovering a new appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit, as expressed by culture, is among the central challenges of our time.
