He must leave his fiancé and sail to Germany to do what he can. He arrives broke and riding a bicycle. Marlene, who wasn't told her father had sold their failing machine shop to keep the town employed, and who runs the family business, assumes Sebastian is another useless consultant. She hands him an apron, points to a lathe, and puts him to work. Marlene's father agrees to Sebastian's secret. Sebastian falls in love with Marlene's beauty, confidence, and dedication to others. He reluctantly agrees to accompany her to a Hitler rally, and then leaves for Spain, where he meets Concetta, a humanitarian spearheading the movement to defend democracy. She is resolutely bold ahead of her time, and just what Sebastian needs to find himself. They take on Franco's invasion. Franco crosses the border with thirty thousand soldiers. Concetta and Sebastian join five hundred thousand patriots fighting to keep Spain free. They anticipate victory. As Sebastian risks his life he discovers that all of Europe would not be heading for war if it weren't for the actions of one man, who is neither Adolf Hitler nor Benito Mussolini. What Sebastian learns is as appropriate today as it was then. Sebastian's Journey is not just about those we thank for past leadership—it is about us.

Download or read book A Country With No Name written by Sebastian De Grazia and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an imaginative and masterful work of history, Pulitzer Prize-winner Sebastian de Grazia has created two memorable characters. Nineteen-year-old Oliver Huggins is in for the tutorial of his life. For twelve afternoons, Claire St. John, a beguiling British graduate student, will reveal to him the untold story of American Constitutional history. Her means: the Socratic method. Her message: that the Constitution was itself unconstitutional, and that its authors' inability to choose a name for the republic muddied the document's meaning for the future ahead. Through these "tutorials" de Grazia passes in review our most revered heroes—Jefferson, Washington, Marshall, Lincoln, and Thoreau—revealing the complexity of their characters. St. John's unsettling tales arouse more in her disciple than intellectual curiosity. Their relationship unrolls in so humorous and seductive a way that only a musty academic could object. Satirical, intelligent, and sure-handed, A Country with No Name combines history and literature, politics and law to reinvigorate our best traditions.
