THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN I WOULD MAKE UP STORIES ABOUT MY ONE YEAR OLD SON, AJ, WHILE I TRIED TO GET HIM TO SLEEP. HE LOVED TO HEAR HIS NAME IN THE STORIES AND HE WOULD GET SO EXCITED WHEN HE DID SOMETHING GOOD IN THE STORIES I TOLD HIM. AS AJ GOT OLDER, I BEGAN TO USE OUR EVERYDAY LIFE IN THESE STORIES. I TRIED TO LEAD HIM INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON HOW TO HELP PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT KNOW THEM OR HOW TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT SO NICE TO US. WHEN I WOULD HEAR ABOUT A TRAGIC STORY OF A CHILD WHO WAS TAKEN FROM A MALL OR HIT BY A CAR OR LOST AT A CROWDED ATTRACTION, I WOULD INSERT AJ S NAME WHILE TELLING HIM THE STORY TO HELP HIM UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY NOT TO WONDER OFF WHILE IN A STORE OR GO OFF WITH A STRANGER. OF COURSE THESE STORIES WOULD END WITH A GOOD OUTCOME BUT DURING THE STORIES, I COULD SEE HIS WORRY. THIS LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS GETTING THE MESSAGE. BUT NOT EVERY STORY WAS A LESSON. I HAD TO MAKE UP STORIES ON A NIGHTLY BASIS. SO, I HAVE LOTS OF STORIES TO TELL. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS ONE. THIS STORY IS ONE OF HIS FAVORITES."

Genre: Biography & Autobiography
ISBN: 9780802138699

A. J. Ayer (1910-1989) was a man of startling complexity: an exceptionally rigorous and penetrating philosopher, he was also a dedicated hedonist and seducer. He traveled in the most glamorous social circles, yet his friends found him oddly remote. Internationally acclaimed author Ben Rogers brings the brilliant, strangely vulnerable author of the classic Language, Truth, and Logic to vivid life, along with the Oxford intellectual world where he met Isaiah Berlin, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and many other great thinkers and writers of the era. Colorful, intimate, and often poignant, this is a powerful biography of a provocative and unforgettable man whose ideas changed the landscape of Western thought. "Beautifully written, sympathetic, and sensitive ... [a] balanced and rounded picture of a very complicated man." -- Simon Blackburn, The New Republic "A readable and well-researched account of the life and career of a remarkable figure." -- Lynwood Abram, Houston Chronicle "A.J. Ayer lived a fascinating life and in Rogers he has found an ideal biographer....." -- Frank McLynn, The New Statesman "Rogers succeeds in capturing the spirit of a philosophical maverick who many loved to hate." -- Kirkus Reviews "Exceptionally good ... A.J. Ayer weaves the philosophical, public, and private strands of Ayer's life together most skillfully." -- The Economist

The Stars Look Down: This thought-provoking novel follows the challenges faced by a Northern England coal mining community and represents “the finest work Cronin has given his public” (Kirkus Reviews). The Keys of the Kingdom: A controversial Scottish Catholic priest embarks on a mission in China, where over years of hardship he learns the true meaning of humanity—and of faith—in “a magnificent story of the great adventure of individual goodness” (The New York Times Book Review).
