Frank - Jarvis, Francis Hugh

Résumé :
Tales of a life well lived. Rewind 60 plus years, to an era devoid of social media and mobile phones. Where one was fully engaged in the here and now, and personal events were witnessed by those who were present. An era where life was looked at through a different lens ... that of our own eyes, and to savour, ponder and grow from those catalyst moments and events that shape us into who we are. How does a young, middle-class man from the eastern suburbs of Melbourne leave his job, his family and friends, and set off to the other side of the world, not knowing when he would return? Frank did just that. With little forward planning, and only a 'rough' idea of where he was going, his drive and determination to leave behind the familiar and explore the unknown outweighed any considerations of risk. At a young age, Frank had an inner drive to live life to the fullest and to take opportunities head on. Rather than play small and live up to others' expectations or, worse still, try to be someone he was not, Frank kept true to himself, honouring his calling without a backward glance, and ultimately paving a way for a unique life that he could call his own without regrets.
