Harvey Sawler 
Pluck & Luck – The Tragedies and Triumphs of a Free Canadian [EPUB ebook] 

Ondersteuning

Pluck & Luck: The Tragedies and Triumphs of a Free Canadian by Harvey Sawler is the authorized biography of Toronto-born impresario, promoter, salesman, and thoroughbred horseman John Uren.

Pluck and luck. Do and dare. Risk and reward. Work and win. And lose. Uren’s life was a theatrical production of drama and comedy, heroes and heroines, songs and soliloquies. He was the Forrest Gump of Canada – manically on the move, unexpectedly at the happenings and constantly in the company of a celebrity, from sporting greats, to Joni Mitchell, to Marlene Dietrich, to Shakespearean stars.

And always in the background, a symphony of tragedy that shattered his upper-middle-class family, in endless rivalry with a life-defining melody and accompanying lyrics: life is no abyss…somewhere there’s a bluebird of happiness.

He has gone on to become a seasoned publicist and a leading Canadian tourism consultant. He has written sixteen books, including three novels and twelve non-fiction works, highlighted by Twenty-First Century Irvings and Last Canadian Beer – The Moosehead Story, and a series of biographies, including Frank Mc Kenna – Beyond Politics.
