How I Achieved My Dream 2nd Edition

This is the story of a boy growing into manhood and also into the realization of the fundamental importance of individual freedom. It is set in the beautiful country of Lebanon before and during the Depression and World War II and presents a detailed and fascinating account of life in a time and place which no longer exists. We first meet Karim at his school recital, singing about the beauty of a meadowlark’s life in the forest, despite its danger, as opposed to the deadliness of a secure life in a gilded cage. We follow Karim through his daily life, meet his family and come to understand the constraints against which he must struggle to find his own freedom.
