Men born to distinction do not always develop it in their homeland.
Sometimes trans plantation taps routes to hidden sources of concern
for the embracing of novel con cepts or the clarification of man's
behavior, illuminating this understanding in the lan guage of their
adopted tongue. Such a one was Joseph Conrad, the Polish sailor
whose new vision graced our literature long after his death in
1924. Such a one also is the author this book, who was born in that
same year to carryon his country's vigor and resourcefulness in our
time. He is numbered among those distinguished emigres whose
contributions to our culture and progress emanated from the trials
and tribulations of the political upheavals, persecutions, and wars
of Europe. Like many others, he has brought sound traditions and
learning from his native land to enhance the new and less developed
of what was only recently a frontier land. Watersheds in world
events impose themselves willy-nilly on our lives. One such time
was 1946, when the author of this book left his native land and set
out for the West. He spent six months in London learning English
and then moved to Ireland, where he trained in medicine and also
absorbed novel ways and a new culture, includ ing the writings of
Swift and Joyce. This young medical graduate's potential was soon
recognized by his teacher in neurology at Belfast, who with
foresight predicted great accomplishment."
