The time is 1972 to 1990. The place is communist Romania, one of the satellite states of the almighty-albeit slowly decaying-Soviet Union. I Tried is a collection of stories that reflect the author's life from the tender age of ten through age 28. The 36 tales of street-soccer, beekeeping, abuse, brutality, chases, forced labor, love, secret police informants and revolution present a quilt-like collage of the life in communist Romania, a country ruled by Nicolae Ceausescu, one of the worst dictators of the 20th century. These intimate stories-in turn thrilling, funny, and sad-of everyday life under a communist regime offer the reader a glimpse of an almost unimaginable period of recent history. I Tried will take you on an emotional roller coaster and leave you filled with wonder and disbelief that such events could occur in our modern world.
Autorenporträt
Gyuszi Süt¿ was born in Transylvania, Romania. He grew up helping his father on his bee farm. His formative years were influenced by the stories told by his parents and grandparents, who survived both world wars. He played in attics and barns filled with ancient artifacts, woodworking tools, and beekeeping accessories. He grew up without television, and loves to listen to-and tell-stories. He lives in Oregon, works in high tech, and is an avid outdoorsman. This is his first published book.
