Alfred Lenarciak’s Long Road to Freedom

AuthorHouse is proud to welcome Alfred Lenarciak to our contributor community. Born in Poland in 1950, Alfred escaped the Communist regime in 1974 and later immigrated from France to Canada. In addition to a background in engineering and finance, he is also the self-published author of three books–all released last year!

Alfred is obviously a very busy man, so we’re pleased that he could take a few minutes to talk with Author’s Digest about Road to Freedom, his latest book.

Alfred, please tell us a little about yourself.

I was born in Poland in 1950, escaped from the Communist regime in 1974, and later immigrated to Canada. Degrees in engineering and finance allowed me to invest and work in the gold mining industry all over the world, over a span of 30 years. For the last decade I have been active in developing the ancestral estate of my wife, Barbara Ferri, in Southern Italy.

At the age of sixty, I decided to retire from active business and dedicate my time to publishing historical stories based on my life experiences, which I wrote over the last several years. I live with my wife in Nassau, Bahamas, while our son Max (with his wife Xenia) live in Toronto and work in an assets management firm.

Last year I published three novels (click on the links to be taken to their page in the AuthorHouse Bookstore):

Road to Freedom

Revenge of Money

Bre-X: Dead Man’s Story?

Do you have any literary influences that helped you develop your style?

I love to read history, but my favorite author since I was young is Charles Dickens.

Please tell us about Road to Freedom.

My latest book, Road to Freedom, is based on my true-life story. This is a story of a 10-year-old boy who listened to a clandestine radio broadcast of President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration, discovered the significance of freedom, and decided to escape the Communist world to the free world. It took him 14 years of struggling and preparation. The unbelievable journey took him from Poland–through the Iron Curtain and risking his life–to Paris, where again he was hunted by French police and faced deportation back to Poland. Surviving almost a year under that oppression, he finally prevailed and found freedom in North America.
