Description

This book comprises two novellas whose leitmotif is a quest for freedom. In each story, a well devised and daringly executed escape plan enables the main character to flee from a totalitarian regime. Man Overboard is a work of fiction featuring the crew of an East German cargo ship in the 1970s navigating the English Channel homeward bound to the Baltic. It provides an insight into life under communism during the era of the Berlin Wall. Regardless of the danger, second officer Schulz is determined to be reunited with his beloved Erica in West Germany. Flight From Tibet is set amidst the turmoil which engulfed that country in 1959 when the fate of the Dalai-lama aroused concern throughout the world. A British journalist based in India ventures across the border into strife stricken Tibet. Having spent his early years being raised by a Tibetan nanny, he has a deep affection for the Tibetans and is anxious to make their plight known to the world.
