Die Theologie Des Bachja Ibn Pakuda (1874)

Among the many idiosyncrasies of the communist regimes was their refusal to allow ordinary citizens to travel outside their country. Solly Border, author of Biography on Wheels, had to struggle for twenty-one years to secure passports for himself and his family, but eventually his persistence paid off. The family got passports to freedom in 1971 and emigrated to America. Once in their new country of adoption, the Borders tried to make up for all they had missed during their many years under totalitarian rule. As this book makes clear, one of their priorities was travelahere, there, and anywhere.
