Memories of a Veterinarian
The life of Wolfgang von Staden has been anything but dull. From the Nazis to the Soviets, from a starving farm hand to a respected veterinarian, his story follows some of the most dramatic times of the twentieth century through the eyes of an earnest, inquisitive, and compassionate young man. Each tale is rife with glimpses of a bygone era, from clandestine wooden-shoe barn dances, to living off nothing but peas, to a teenager's first tentative attempt at romance. The author spins the memories of his life through unique observations, calculated detail, and a healthy dose of humour. Memories of a Veterinarian is an engaging memoir that perfectly balances the historical and the personal to paint a compelling vignette of an extraordinary life.
