A handsome gift edition of one of the seminal pieces of literature to emerge from the Second World War- Viktor Frankl's moving account of his experiences in Auschwitz.
Viktor Frankl was born in Vienna in 1905 and was Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Vienna Medical School. His wife, father, mother and brother all died in Nazi concentration camps; only he and his sister survived, but he never lost the qualities of compassion, loyalty, undaunted spirit and thirst for life (earning his pilot's licence aged 67). He died in Vienna in 1997. www.viktorfrankl.org

one. * Los Angeles Times *
His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand
the human condition. * Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks *

who choose life before flight. * Brian Keenan, author of An Evil
Cradling *
One of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It changed my
life * Susan Jeffers, author of Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway and
