Synopsis

This is a boy's firsthand account of the Second World War siege of Budapest and the trials of its aftermath, transitioning to an English private school and tough days in London on the way to medical school. Emerging as a urological surgeon, the journey continues to far-flung places, always keeping the human focus. A life lived to the full, it finds the author taking up flying at age fifty-six, something to rekindle the flying daydreams of the armchair pilot.

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in Hungary, 1930. High School education in Hungary and England. Qualified as a doctor in London, England, 1958. Spent three years as regimental medical officer in the Canadian Army. Subsequently trained as a urological surgeon, graduating with FRCS (C) in 1967. Practised urology in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada, till retirement in 1999. Published a number of articles in magazines and newspapers in Canada and in Bali, Indonesia. Privately printed a memoir for limited circulation (family and friends only), followed by a similar limited circulation book of photos (Latitude Eight, Life and Death in Bali). I have travelled the world widely, and my writings reflect my experiences while on the road. I took up flying at the age of fifty-six and have written in detail about that experience. Photography is one of my interests, and except for two pictures, all photos submitted in this book are my own. I live in Vernon, British Columbia, and until fairly recently, I was an avid skier, hiker, and tennis player. I play golf, but my talent falls short of my interest. I have three grown-up daughters and a small circle of close friends. I live life to the full.
