Item description from seller

Scarce paperback, 307 pages, colour and b&w photos in text, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, minor handling wear; clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- Jan Czekajewski was born in Poland in 1934. In his book author recalls some stories from his life in three countries where he lived, communistic Poland, Sweden and US. This book is not a diary, although he tried to keep stories in chronological order. Because it is not a diary, stories are told as remembered. Some are hilarious, others are sad. One could say that this book is an assembly of vignettes which give readers an opportunity to see life of an enterprising rebel, as Jan always was, in different systems and in different countries. He is not hiding his shortcomings and occasionally his personal life was turbulent, at best. He tell about setbacks too without a bitterness and with a degree of humor. The one thing for sure this book is not pompous attempt to glorify himself. He is open about his own shortcomings which is a rare phenomenon in autobiographical sketches. It is a kind of Horatio Alger's story of poor emigrant, although educated, who comes to US and builds, facing unemployment, a successful company, Columbus Instruments, located in Columbus, Ohio. All his life he relied on his own resources. This lack of debt makes Columbus Instruments an outstanding company in American business, which is now drowning in the debt ridden crises. The title of this book tells that Jan Czekajewski was through all his life a rebellious individual. This individualistic attitude and entrepreneurial spirit let him survive in many difficult conditions in communistic Poland and in US. Now he tells how he benefited from it.
