About the book: 1992 / “Always, if I fought against some kind of injustice, I turned out to be right. Actually, I have never been mistaken in defining the evil that I have defeated and am conquering. But I was often mistaken when I believed that I was fighting for a just cause. This is the story of my life, this is “Like a tear in the ocean.” These words belong to the Austrian writer Manes Sperber (1905–1984), author of the world-famous trilogy “Like a Tear in the Ocean,” an unusually eventful, fascinating novel.
