Noble Truths, Noble Path
The renowned translator Bhikkhu Bodhi has crafted this anthology of suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya to enable students of Early Buddhism to penetrate into the heart of the Buddha's teachings on the four noble truths and the eightfold path as directly and clearly as possible. The aim is to attain direct insight into foundational Buddhist teachings on liberation. Brilliantly translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi, this anthology of suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya takes us straight to the heart of the Buddha's teaching on liberation through the four noble truths and the noble eightfold path--the two mainstays of Buddhist doctrine that illuminate the nature of things and generate direct insight into the teachings. These suttas all pertain to the ultimate good, the attainment of nibbana, or liberation. They illuminate the Buddha's radical diagnosis of the human condition--and more broadly, the condition of all sentient existence--in light of the four noble truths. They underscore the pervasive flaws

Noble Fragments
A unique rare-books story, and a remarkable family history. After World War II, Michael Vistontay's widowed grandfather married a Hungarian Jewish woman, also widowed during the war. This woman, Olga, was the niece of a famous New York rare bookseller, a Hungarian-born Jew named Gabriel Wells, who had immigrated to the US as a young man, leaving his big family behind. In 1920, Wells had acquired a very rare Gutenberg Bible, which had 53 of its 643 leaves missing, and came up with the idea of selling the leaves individually. He got a prominent collector to write an essay, and packaged each sale up as 'A Noble Fragment'. He made a fortune, and it cemented his reputation. When Wells died in 1946, he received an extensive obituary in the New York Times. He died without a wife or children, and his considerable estate went to many of his nephews and nieces because most of his siblings had been murdered during the Holocaust. The money that Olga inherited underwrote Michael Visontay's
