Memoir of Award Winning Designer, Odyssey of a DP, Published by Outskirts Press
Valencia, PA, October 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Odyssey of a DP: Memoirs of a Displaced person by Vladimir Drobashevsky. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the memoirs and product design category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/odysseyofaDP was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
In 1941, twelve year old Vladimir awakes one morning to the chaos of the Luftwaffe bombing his neighborhood in Belgrade. The Germans are invading his homeland. Vladimir and his family are soon suffering hunger and deprivation from the German occupation as well as daily air raids by the Allies. His parents reluctantly decide it will be best if Vladimir and his mother leave his father behind to defend Yugoslavia and fight the now advancing Soviet Army while they flee to Austria.
Finally the family is re-united in an Austrian refugee camp and ultimately they are able to immigrate to America after the war. For the next forty years Vladimir designs national and international expositions -- including several Nuclear Information Centers in the U.S. and Asia -- and receives numerous awards for his work in design and graphic arts.
One night, after Vladimir has received a phone call in his hotel room that his father has died from a heart attack, he realizes that he never took the time to listen to his father’s stories about World War I, the Russian Revolution or his father’s battles against the Communists in his native land. Like his father, Vladimir, too, is a wealth of unique historical information about an important period in the history of the world.
Odyssey of a DP is his contribution to preserving those stories and paying tribute to his lineage and his family.
283 pages in length, Odyssey of a DP: Memoirs of a Displaced person is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the memoirs and product design category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Odyssey of a DP meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $18.95.
