Dominic Mance

Opis

Poet, bum, barfly, health-nut, drifter of a million miles, hippy, born-again Christian, fugitive... Dominic Mance reached the pinnacle of success as an international banker but walked away from it all and became a homeless vagabond overnight living a million different lives in a million different ways. His life story has been told on TV, radio and in magazines worldwide. But now, for the first time ever, this inspirational book as told in the author's own words from the personal letters written during those years of knockabout wanderlust provides an intimate look at his hardscrabble life and how he found purpose and joy on the street of broken dreams then reemerged from the ashes to become a writer, artist, composer and broadcaster. "These people that dream, I dream with them; and with broken hearts and broken minds and broken lives over the song still sung shall we sing with fingers sweet dipped in wine as from teardrop to teardrop we dance for strangers in the barbarous night." At times, hold-your-belly and laugh out loud funny, and at times, a real tearjerker that is knockdown, gut-wrenchingly sad; this book is a guaranteed page-turner.
