About this ebook
Peoples’ Spring looks at the unrest that swept like wildfire across Europe in 1848 through the eyes of Sergei, a Russian youth of noble birth forced to flee from his home because of prohibited dueling. In exile, he ends up in Prague where, because of lack of funds, he is forced to join the garrison army. He strives to learn Czech and meets his teacher Marika. From then on their fortunes are intertwined.
In 1848 political unrest sweeps through the capitals of Europe and it comes to fighting in the streets of Prague. The uprising, however, is short lived and Sergei and Marika have to flee to Hungary where the revolution has a better chance. They join the Hungarian army and for a year and a half, they fight against the Austrian overlords. The life in the field is harsh, the battles are devastating and Sergei gets wounded many times. When Russia comes to the aid of the beleaguered Austrians, the revolution collapses and the Hungarian army surrenders. Again on the run, Sergei works his way home to introduce Marika to his family.

BIO: Nearing retirement, I now have more time to devote to writing (and if I don’t, I squeeze the day until there is a space/time to crawl into). Over the past 15 years, I have worked on 15 books, three of which (of the Dreamcast series) are self-published.My website, http://www.PaulTelegdi.ca gives a full account of my life and accomplishments, which I shall not repeat here.The thumbnail version: I was born in Hungary; when young immigrated to Canada with my family, attended University of Waterloo, Ontario, where I met my wife. Spent years in West Germany where my wife was studying music while I was learning German. Returning to Canada, we ended up on a farm in Ontario with pets. Long-time married, I boast of three sons with talent and personality.Presently I am office manager of my wife’s private practice of psychology. I like kayaking and windsurfing. I belong to a number of writers’ groups, and often choose writing over sleeping. eBooks are an exciting new chapter in my life and I’m looking forward to the wider exposure.My motto: Want a better life? Then write it!
