Maybe Luck Isn't Just ChanceNorthwestern University Press, 1997 - 125 páginas Born into a middle-class doctor's family, young Ruth Liepman was raised in Hamburg, Germany, studied law, and found herself drawn increasingly toward the ideals of communism. In 1933 she fled to Holland. In simple, forthright, and sparklingly honest prose, noted literary agent Ruth Liepman shares her amazing life story--one that encompassed two world wars and the collapse of empires--and her love of books and writers. |
