Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is the story of my family life followed by a long and complicated journey to the USA. I write my own story, not a story of a hero. It's not about a famous football player that many of us envisioned in our dreams. My story doesn't involve any spy adventures like the books I enjoy reading. R…ather the life I share with you is about a family which was born and uses to live in the communism stricken Czechoslovakia. So much has been written about communism and its gulags, prisons and dissidents who eventually became well known figures all over the world. However, so little is known on the subject of millions of regular people and their daily life. For my readers, who never experienced any type of tyranny is very difficult to understand or feel the brunt of constant pressure from an oppressive government trying to control every step of everyone's life, from the crib to the grave. The main governing tool is a very high level of fear that controls one's thinking, his conduct and religion in open and at the same time the one is trying to create his own identity which must have been hidden from that society. A little bit of open deviation from what is required by the government is heartlessly punished. Agents listening to us are never too far and always ready to throw us into a gulag. We live two lives - one in the open and the other one in the hidden - the real life. My father use to call it the 'double-face' life. The fear of repressions reaches a higher level when someone decides not to follow the herd and chooses his own way - way out the country surrounded by barbed wire resembling a huge concentration camp. I choose risking all our lives just like I said to my father the day of Soviet invasion to Czechoslovakia in August 1968: '.sometimes it is better to die standing up than to live life on your knees.' I guess I am 'lucky' in my own way because I was born under communism and been an inquisitive and observatory nature I learn 'ropes, whistles and blows' of that society very well. I employ the 'double-face' to my own advantage when secretly arranging the trip out. I think they taught me well and I do not even break a blush when lying into feared faces in order to obtain another signature for a long paper trail. Just a small mistake or imperfection in my plan and those faces can squash me and my whole family like a bug. Stay in refugee camp feels like both hell and purgatory. Hell come up to us by feeling the crash on the bottom of human society, which sometimes tastes worse than living under communism. During this depressive time it takes a lot of personal strength in realizing the difference. We can run away any time because the refugee camp is not surrounded by barbed wire. People without future get 'stuck' in the camp for years and in some cases for life. Their behavior hardly distinguishable from criminals deepens our hellish feelings. Purgatory comes from inside out when I find a might and a confidence in our future, away from the rest of our families we leave in the other camp, this time the concentration camp of communism. Seven months in an Austrian refugee camp give us opportunity for thinking about ourselves and our family, providing a new focus for the future life. We come into USA with almost no money, no job prospects and no references. And positively no family, just the four of us.However, we are finally free in any aspect of life and our hard work attitude breaks us free of financial dependency on US government in less than forty days. I believe my story will be good reading for all my friends who encouraged me writing it for years. I tried to record every single detail to my best recollection and it will provide much information for our children and their prospective families when our memories will shade out due to the strength of time.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - POEMSAND STANZAS II The following poetic reflections were not included in my first published book of 'Poems and Stanzas'. I let them gather strength and body, and I have now decided to make them into a companion to the first collection of my verses. Those poems belong to three different groups. The…first one is a run of incidental pieces expressing personal and inspirational ideas and emotions I intuited in verses, they are contemporary and totally original. The second group is a trio of poems I initially did render in the French language. They are translations from a work by writer and poet Jakub Kolas from Bielorus. He created a famous lyrical and nationalistic book with the title of 'SIMON MUZYKA', the fictive name of a juvenile dreamer who grew up and lived in a small village of White Russia. The boy senses very acutely the subjugation of his land by the rulers of the Russian Empire, and the centralized rule of the Great Russians. Some years ago I ran into the English translation of a couple of those pieces on a Canadian site, written by a Canadian poetess; yet I felt it did not adequately render the pathos of Kolas' lines. So I decided to put my mind to task and came up with my own version of those three pieces. Finally I selected a number of the more lyrical chapters in my book 'From that Side of Awakening', written in quasi poetic prose, and transposed them in somewhat more orthodox and better-metered pieces of versification! As in the first volume of the 'Poems and Stanzas' those items reflect my philosophical way of thinking, including what I call 'transcendentalism'. They deal with the concept of a spiritual split occurring within an amorphous entity I call the Prime One, resulting in the Creation of the Universe in the polarized and dual mode, accompanied by the 'Fall' and banishment of the one aspect of the Prime entity that brought on the initial 'Big Bang'. That aspect of the One is destined to assume the role of the all-encompassing God- Nature of the World, to be its Creator, projected and reflected ad infinitum in every facet of the Reality he authored, at the same time to be the common soul of all its biological denizens, both in the individual as in the general sense.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Web Page for LAND THAT I LOVE by Mitchell Furman as told to Merrill FurmanBOOK SUMMARY:After the war, they had camps set up. And my job was rounding people up and taking them to wherever their camp was. You would take a group of Russians and drive them to an area where the Russians were kept. Maybe…pick up a gang of French. They were called DPs. They were displaced from the war, they had no place to go. And they were always asking me to do things that no way I could do. So I'd point out some officer. I'd say, See that man over there with the bars on his shoulder He's a captain. You go over there, say 'Captain Shitface, can you help me ' And I'd disappear someplace.With humor and heart, Land That I Love chronicles the life story of Mitchell Furman, through the Depression years and World War II (where he served in the Army and was awarded the Bronze Star and Combat Infantry Badge), to running a family business and his 58-year marriage to Eleanor. Recalling his many escapades, and in his unique voice, Furman paints an unforgettable portrait of an unforgettable man.BOOK EXCERPT:THE EARLY DAYSI was born during the Great Depression. When my parents looked at me, they were greatly depressed. Now I was raised in a strictly gentile neighborhood and I never had any problem and everybody knew I was Jewish. At a very young age, I beat up the toughest guy around and that put a lid on it.My family lived on Carey Street at the time, which was predominantly Irish Catholic. Then, right behind my house was a public garage and, behind that, a dirt hill. They called it Polish Hill because that's where the Polish families lived. And the Polish and the Irish used to clash all the time.Lots of these guys were my buddies - names like Tommy Clyde and Kasimir Terlecki. Stanley Palachock was another. At Halloween, the Polish kids would wait till we got our bags full and then come after us with stockings full of potatoes. They threatened to beat us with the stockings unless we turned our bags over to them. All I know is, I always brought home plenty of candy.I had a work ethic from a very young age. From the time I was eleven, I knew how to make money. There was a Penn Fruit that opened up at 21st and Hunting Park - one of the very first supermarkets in Philadelphia. The neighborhood kids would try to make a few pennies by helping the women home with their packages. A friend, DuckAbrams, and I decided to get in on the action. We built a wagon the size of a tractor trailer. You should have seen this thing. We could barely move it, it was so big. Naturally, we did more business than the other guy.My first job where I got a salary was the Temple Movies. But I also delivered newspapers, sold magazines and shoveled garages. Not only would I go from door to door saying, 'Shovel your pavement, lady Shovel your pavement ' But I worked for a man by the name of Mr. Poll who had 50 individual garages at 19th and Butler. Fifty garages! I was twelve at the time and I shoveled in front of those 50 garages for $5.The Temple Movies paid me $6 a week to be a projectionist. The tough part of the job was carrying the reels up and down a long flight of steps. They were much too heavy for a 12 year old boy to carry. I worked 35 hours a week. Never did homework. My grades got by. I never had a failing grade nor did I have any grades that were remarkable, other than math. I'd work and go to school, work and go to school and, on Monday night, if I was a good boy, I could listen to the Lux Theatre on the radio.At the movies, I worked with a guy by the name of Ray who did nothing but read the paper. I did all the work and he read the paper. One day I asked him, 'Ray, why do you make $60 a week and I make $6 a week ' 'Mitch,' he said. 'What would you do if the machine broke down 'After a while they gave me a dollar raise. But Grandpop said he needed me in the family business. I didn't w.
