Such fun! I liked the style, humour and the thinking and emotion behind the laughs. It came to the end too soon, I would have liked it to continue...

Passage from the text...

On the way back, a few bricks placed across the road force us to slow down.
Immediately, two Viet Cong, cartridge belts crossing over their chests, jump out of the shrubs and hold us at gunpoint.

Electric shocks go off under my earlobes.
Freezing terror, face to face with rifles that glow in the sunlight.
The whim of these two soldiers will decide whether we live or die. 

No more breathing.

Life can turn on a dime.

I really enjoyed this light read that I found funny, moving and exciting all the the same time. The story inspired me to leave the Office and take off somewhere I have never been before. It is also very relevant today despite being set quite a few years back. I recommend!

I loved this book! Was sitting on the edge of my chair the whole way through wondering what will happen next. I can really relate to the author and his determination to 'fill in this vacuum' of emptiness by doing something meaningful with his life. Great read - would love to know what happened next...

Breadline - an autobiographical novel

In his 20s, feeling restless and with a constant urge to explore the world, he finds a job with a humanitarian organisation and so his adventures begin, often more life threatening than recreational. In his first book Breadline one can discover the autobiographical account of a young man impatient to find his place in this world and escape the endless cohort of the industrialised society. He combines the odd jobs to make a living and saves up just enough money to be able to finance his trips abroad. From Switzerland to the Vietnam war, back to Europe and again off to Cameroon, the author describes his personal story of survival through continuous curiosity and courage to face life in most dangerous of places. 

Throughout his life, Alain Dizerens has also worked in kabbutz (Israel) and Hong Kong among other places around the world. After a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and several decades of teaching, Alain Dizerens also presented a variety of "crosstalk kinetic" (dance, electro) performances in Geneva in 1986. He has written other books - Miroir-Temps and l'Arpenteur sidéral among many as well as published a number of photo e-books. Written with a poetic touch, his books quickly absorb the reader in a realistically magical universe, which at the same time never lacks a bit humour.
