It contrasts an education between college and travel---with a heavy accent on travel. After a disappointing semester at a four year liberal arts college in Kansas City, he sets off for six months in Europe, living on the margins of society---the lower echelons of great cities where he meets incredible, stimulating and bizarre people who have a profound effect on his life. Curiosity, intrigue and just plain naivete draw him into events with anarchists, nazis and communists. With a desire to experiment and experience what's 'new', his strong penchant for alcohol and the drug culture lead him ever deeper into a subculture rarely seen. Yet there seems to be a divine shadow over him that keeps him from complete devastation. The descriptions of the cities, museums, bars and nightlife will take you back to a time when Europe was a group of distinct, individual countries proud of their diverse cultures. The midwest boy matures into a citizen of the world. It's my story---and I'm sticking to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Wedel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wedel Enterprises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615445045\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wedel Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125856825459,"sku":"9.78062E+12","price":16.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_a81a0915-c554-426c-817a-c31beae5e061.jpg?v=1764767050","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/road-tales-a-raw-education-9780615445045","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
