The Chronicles of a Survivalist

This work does not reflect the crucible of one individual. This book is rather the result of a compilation of a series of incidents, which transpired in the lives of several people I know. The essence of the text is based on real events.

I penned the first lines for this book several years ago. But I kept postponing the completion of the project for other academic works. Recently, I found myself in a situation that mirrored that of the protagonists featured in the book.

This text is an attempt, however desperate it might appear to some people, to tell the immigrant that there is no need to linger in a state of despair on foreign soils. There is always a way out. Although some might refuse to admit it, many a time, returning home is the only viable path for long-term survival.
