Více o knize
In 1972, after graduating from college, Jerry Steimel set out on a cross country road trip in a 1966 VW Beetle he called Zorba -- named after the literary figure, Zorba the Greek. He aimed to break away from his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, and explore America--the country sharply divided over the war in Vietnam. He also sought to gain a deeper understanding of himself and the path his life would take. The journey ended prematurely in a small Alabama town far from his goal of California. He returned home, had a life well-lived, but always with a lingering feeling he had some unfinished business. Forty-five years later, during the first year of the Trump Presidency, the country was again in conflict with itself. Steimel took his dream off the shelf, and in a 1973 VW bus began a new journey of self-discovery on the back roads of America. It was a dream deferred, but not forgotten.
