"This book fills a big gap in our understanding of the Uprooted, the Wanderer, the Homeless, the Exiled, the Expellee, and other types of the non-voluntary refugee. In a vivid and heartfelt style, Cirtautas paints in colorful details the typical Via Dolorosa of a refugee from its first shock of being suddenly uprooted, through all the multifarious subsequent experiences, up to the final crystallization of two main types of the refugee: those frustrated by the hardships and futility of refugee life - the types of the Despondent, the Indifferent, the Decadent - and those who overcome these obstacles and become "well-adjusted", and even transfigured morally, mentally, and spiritually - the types of the Determined, the Cultured, the Blessed, the Mystic, and the Citizen of the World." - Pitirim A Sorokin, Foreword. ; 166 pages; Signed by Author.
