{"product_id":"tenacity-von-andreas-herdina","title":"Tenacity","description":"“Tenacity” is a tribute to the members of a truly European family finding their way in tempestuous times, even in the darkest hours, in the often-demanding environment of the Twentieth Century.\n\nThe events of the somewhat forgotten, more distant past come to life through the war-time experiences of an Anglican field chaplain, a Royal Flying Corps aviator, an Afrika Korps soldier and a Luftwaffe paratrooper, which this large Austrian-British family brought together.\n\nHighlighting the unpredictability of the passage of time, and indeed of life itself, we are introduced to the daughter of a Welsh shipowner becoming the wife of a vicar, to a headmistress in Malaysia, to a mountaineer and cable car engineer in Austria, to a stereotypical “Uncle from America”, as well as to the motley stories of numerous others. More recent family experience allows us to re-live the era from the Cold War to the recent breakdown of the post-war international order. \n\nNot to mention two young people from formerly hostile countries. By finding happiness through a chance encounter in the Tyrolean Alps a mere four years after the war, they came to represent hope and a new era for Europe rising from the ashes.\n\nThese captivating stories are told by a family member, Andreas Herdina, drawing on eyewitness accounts and family archives. Inspired by his family history, he has devoted his working life in various diplomatic missions to promoting a civilised world order. Coming through, the voice of the author is worth listening to in our uncertain times.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783991922834\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStories from a Family of the Twentieth Century\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783991922834","offer_id":57301279670597,"sku":"9783991922834","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/746ad4fa-c651-4b5f-a658-9ab68f95cb7f.jpg?v=1775281833","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/tenacity-von-andreas-herdina","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
