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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47408704356530,"sku":"9780615445045","price":16.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/4343537d86de4ccddf97fedb52c69f02.webp?v=1778250979","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/road-tales-a-raw-education-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
