From the author of Cafe Scheherazade and The Fighter comes a new nonfiction collection about humanity's indestructable desire for survival. 

This quartet of true stories—of displacement, of survival and of resistance—spans the globe and reflects the universal spirit of humanity. Master storyteller Arnold Zable takes us to distant lands, and those closer to home, to weave tales within tales of people compelled to live extraordinary lives. In conversation with Bram Presser.
