Charles W. Gusewelle Livres

Details the prologue to, and 1991 trek along the Lena River in Siberia made by eight Americans and four Russians, to include the physical and the political.

C.W. Gusewelle's second collection of essays, lets you experience the sights and sounds of Senegal. He writes of the images of Africa as she reveals her secrets. He presents through the limited window of immediate experience, an intimate sense of Africans and life in a small corner of that vast and wonderful and suffering part of the world. Hope, illusion, helplessness, betrayal, affection. . . all the multitudes of human beings share them. But, in the end, they are experienced singly by individuals, one at a time, each in his own place and way. And in such small stories, each one standing for the many, may be the best chance of understanding Africa.

This collection of essays now in its second printing by C. W. Gusewelle is about a great Kansas City writer plying his trade in one of Europe's most glorious cities. Some 75, carefully crafted memories later, we learn about a beautiful city, her fascinating inhabitants and the impact of Paris, on a mother, father and two teen-age daughters. These are the stories never to be forgotten and the lives forged from the first-hand experiences shared together.
