Written by Paul Rusesabagina with Tom Zoellner - Audio book narrated by Dominic Hoffman - Unabridged Nonfiction - 7 COMPACT DISCS - 8 hours Publisher, Penguin Audio (April 2006) Praise for the printed edition: "Rusesabagina’s story of survival amid manic slaughter is as awful as it is gripping." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Read this book. It will humble and inspire you." --Sunday Telegraph, London "Extraordinary—horrific and tragic, but also inspiring, because Rusesabagina refuses to give up his belief in the basic decency of humanity." --The Times, London An Ordinary Man is sure to become a classic of tolerance literature, joining such books as Thomas Keneally's Schindler's List, Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom, and Elie Wiesel's Night. The man whose heroism inspired the film "Hotel Rwanda" tells his story. In 1994, Rwanda hotel manager Rusesabagina offered shelter to more than 12,000 members of the Tutsi clan and Hutu moderates, while homicidal mobs raged outside with machetes. About the Authors: Paul Rusesabagina was the first Rwandan manager of the Hotel Milles Collines, a European-owned luxury hotel in Rwanda. A recipient of the National Civil Rights Museum’s 2005 Freedom Award, he lives in Brussels, Belgium. Tom Zoellner has worked as a contributing editor for Men’s Health magazine and as a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. His book The Heartless Stone: A Journey Through the World of Diamonds and Desire will be published in the summer of 2006. |
