Who said finding yourself was easy When a wild night out in Barcelona in 1972 ends in a savage police beating and imprisonment without trial in the notorious Modelo jail, 22-year-old William's dreams of becoming an artist lie in tatters.Against all odds, his mind as broken as his body, William begins to find a way forward. The bars in the cell window are all too real, but so are the wisdom and kindness of his Zen cellmate. For the first time, he senses a way to be free -- on the inside. He begins to face the demons of his past; the anger and nihilism that come from a childhood of poverty, violence and neglect. And he makes the first entries in the journal that changes his life forever. That journal became this book.A Wild Ride to Freedom is the inspiring true story of one man's triumph over evil fate. And evil prison food.

So when his best friend hatches a plan to fund a year's painting in Morocco, William leaps at the chance. The only problem is, first he has to get through Franco's fascist Spain with a suitcase of drugs.Like most things in William's life, the plan goes wrong and he is thrown into the notorious Modelo jail in Barcelona. Abandoned by friends and family, unable to speak the language, surrounded by hardened criminals, lost hippies and brutal prison guards and with no idea when, if ever, he will be released, he quickly spirals into despair.It's only when he begins to secretly draw his visions and nightmares that William starts to deal with his remorse and self-hatred. But it is facing up to long-repressed childhood memories - of abuse, neglect and poverty - that ultimately leads to his redemption . and freedom. Artikel-Nr. 9781910400494
