Opis

"Beyond the Snows of the Andes" is a tale of survival, tragedy, growth and self realization set against one of the poorest, most exotic countries in South America, which is Indian Bolivia. It's a moving, tender story of love and sacrifice, guts and determination set against the highlands of La Paz, Bolivia, one of the highest capitals of the world besides Tibet. It's also a tribute to immigrants the world over and a detailed account of the adjustments and sacrifices they must each make in their search for a better life. It's a tribute to America, the country that still lures more immigrants to its shores than any other country in the world with its enticing promise of freedom and prosperity. It's a tribute to Bolivia, to its rugged, wild, exotic beauty so unique and special. It's a tribute to life, with all its trials and tribulations. It's about learning how to live, it's about accepting hardship and misfortune and moving forward. It's a book about the search for freedom, for autonomy, as vital as the air we breathe. The story of this extraordinary family and the challenges they face, won't leave you unaffected. It will make you think and feel. I will expose you once again to the wondrous power of the human spirit.
