β¦ Synopsis
Literary legend James A. Michener was "a Renaissance man, adventurous, inquisitive, unpretentious and unassuming, with an encyclopedic mind and a generous heart" (The New York Times Book Review). In this exceptional memoir, the man himself tells the story of his remarkable life and describes the people, events, and ideas that shaped it. Moving backward and forward across time, he writes about the many strands of his experience: his passion for travel; his lifelong infatuation with literature, music, and painting; his adventures in politics; and the hard work, headaches, and rewards of the writing life. Here at last is the real James Michener: plainspoken, wise, and enormously sympathetic, a man who could truly say, "The world is my home."
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Centennial.

### Review Like his James Bond movies, Roger Mooreβs autobiography is full of unbelievable scenes, corny dialogue and a lead character who doesnβt take himself too seriously...full of humor, in praise of many and offensive to few (New York Post ) ### Product Description > From the saint to maver
