Product Description

A fascinating story of the author's reminiscences of his travels through Lithuania and the indestructible souls he encountered and learned about. A beautiful portrait of Lithuania captured in the sensitive words and observations of the author. It is a tantalizing story of medieval history, current day politics, and economic perspectives entwined with fairy tales, poems, antiquities, and his adoration of the beauty he found in Lithuania. It all comes together, little by little, to introduce Lithuania as a vibrant and colorful country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book about Lithuania, May 13, 2004
By A Customer
Harold C Wilson's book present a remarkable story of Lithuania, a country with a troubled history. The autor's strength is his ability to merge successfully his personal reflections and the stories of the glorious past of the country as well as the astonishing atrocities of 'times of darkness. It's true, honest, amazing sincere and nobody could say better than that. We, Lithuanians, remember, know and respect the past. We are really proud of the present, today, and hope for a brighter future.

We also hope this brilliant Book will undoubtedly win Lithuania more friends, if that's at all possible.
Thank You Mr. Wilson, for deep-rooted love for the country of your ancestors and its people. You masterly succeeded in disclosing their unbending spirit and indestructible soul.
So help You God.

Philologist,
Vilnius, Lithuania

2.0 out of 5 stars A few gems but needs help, May 12, 2003
By A Customer
Harold C. Wilson expresses his love and admiration for Lithuania but over and over again! Enough already!It is poorly edited, redundant and the organization of the book is fragmented. The photography needs help! However there are some strong points: the poetry, the history and the stories of the heroism of Lithuanian patriots probably can not be found anywhere else. A good start but edit the hell out of the thing. Get rid of the many references of kugelis and Lithuanian horseradish. Who cares how many times you eat it!
