A JOURNEY THROUGH MY LIFE - DIETRICH SCHAEFER K...

In this autobiography  Dietrich Schaefer presents his life in two parts  both of which were
closely connected to the Seven Seas and international seafaring. Beginning with the
character-building escape from East Prussia during his childhood  then the difficult times as a
refugee in post-war Germany  he uses humor and many scintillating tales to illustrate his
career in the German shipping trade - from cabin boy to captain. He provides the reader with
enthusiastic accounts of his travels throughout the world  to all continents and 118 countries.
Tirelessly  he constantly tried to make contact with people to find out what they think and how
they feel. His numerous excursions provide the reader with interesting facts about countries 
the people  and their history. In this way he combines historical background and current day
politics from the past six decades. In 1979  his time had finally arrived and he accomplished
his often imagined dream of starting his own company. His astounding level of creativity as
well as willingness of taking risks  which oftentimes resembled daring exploits  repeatedly
resulted in his company finding itself on the edge of an abyss. It took a while until the
company eventually became profitable  as well as incurring many debts along the way that had to
be repaid. Much later  Dietrich Schaefer was inspired by a new business idea  which resulted in
his company gaining international recognition within a few years. Ever since then  the company
has been and still is a driving force in the shipping industry. Dietrich Schaefer's
autobiography is much more than just an account of his life and his excursions will force
readers to think. Perhaps it is difficult to imagine  but maybe one day there will be a world
where no more wars are fought. It could have happened: A fiction where a bullet killed Adolf
Hitler.
