Charles traded hand grenades with other kids like one would trade baseball cards. At the age of twenty-one, he escaped from Communist Hungary to Canada via Communist Yugoslavia, and in the same year he was hit by lightning three times on the same farm. Charles has lived his life by his magical three D’s: Desire, Determination, and Drive.
In prose as elegant as it is supple, Confessions of an Original Sinner is at once the vivid account of one man’s voyage and an important contribution to that small library that brings into sharp focus the major intellectual developments of our time.
Based on a true story (her story) of a Hungarian Olympic Gold medallist who at the age of 23 followed her heart to the other side of the globe. Leaving behind her country, her family and friends, her illustrious status, and her love for competing in swimming at the Olympic level, she immigrated to Toronto, Canada. It was all in the name of love.
A gripping and moving novel. It is based on a true story about two women faced with trials and tribulations during war torn Europe. Politics (perscution of Hungarian Jews during World War II), poverty, and love separated them and forced them to move from one country to another until they eventually reunited again in Canada.
