In Quest of Nirvana is a brilliant portrayal of the struggle for survival in the author’s newly adopted nation, the U.S.A., after having been forced to get away from his native Hungary at the end of World War II. He encounters a political haven, a free Democracy, a society where couple of constraints exist, but help is offered just to those who assist themselves. His total loss of a lifestyle that had been equivalent to “Utopia” is the factor for a hard re-start at the lowest economic levels; a fight against all odds, dealing with apparently insurmountable challenges. Impoverished and deteriorated from the greatest levels of the social elite, the author nevertheless builds on a basis of ethical strength, guts, determination and a lasting incentive to attain consistently improving conditions. His goals are set high; the ways by which to reach them are exceptionally diverse, and require a relentless personal drive to get rid of a consistent series of major obstacles. A life-story that can only be described as interesting. It includes a succession of events, arrestingly told, with emphasis on the many peculiarities of fate rather than on the person. A vivid discussion of a human life-span made even more realistic by many visual examples of essential minutes of the previous fifty years. This autobiography informs a true story, all the more compelling, due to the fact that eventhough every detail is genuine, it unfolds in the style of a novel. The reader can’t assist but be carried along with the ups and downs of a fate abundant in uncommon experiences and humorous anecdotes. To share in this evaluation of a half-century is rewarding to those who value a summary of substantial technological developments in addition to participating in a really unique saga of personal evolvement. The author’s childhood in Hungary and years of hardship as a refugee in Austria had actually been described in the predecessor of this work entitled: VISIONS OF UTOPIA.
