Moments in Time, Volume 1: Childhood, Independence

by Peter Cavelti

Overview

This first volume of Peter Cavelti's retrospective is a chronicle of the joys and tensions under the surface of bourgeois family life in rural Switzerland, followed by an account of his rebel years as a school drop-out, a confused soldier and a tormented immigrant in apartheid-era South Africa-and eventually, the long backpacking adventure that took him across Africa, Asia and North America.
