Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the eye of the storm that was 1968-a year of assassinations, antiwar protests, and cultural upheaval-a young football player from Buffalo, New York, discovers that time and chance are not just forces of fate, but invitations to change.Time and Chance: A Young Man's Voyage of Discovery is… a sweeping, heartfelt memoir that chronicles the author's transformative passage from steel mills and campus scrimmages to merchant ships and far-flung ports. With grit, humor, and cinematic flair, Russell Beck invites readers into a coming-of-age story rich with vivid characters and poignant reflection.The journey begins in Buffalo, where sleepless nights in Republic Steel's furnace rooms and campus mixers filled with laughter shape a summer of friendship, loss, and unexpected love. From the electric warmth of picnics with Renee and the whirlwind romance with Debbie, to the haunting realization that love doesn't always arrive when-or how-we expect it, Russell captures the emotional terrain of youth in all its aching beauty.When a career-ending injury reroutes him toward marine engineering school, his life takes an abrupt turn-from backfield tackles to turbine mechanics. The voyage aboard the SS Green Valley is a crucible of solitude and discovery, traversing Djibouti, Iran, Karachi, and Bombay. Along the way, Russell encounters spiritual paradoxes, playful chaos, and hard-earned wisdom. In Bombay, a long-lost letter and a nightclub encounter leave him with more than just stories.This memoir is not just about travel-it's about the roads we almost take, the ones we never return to, and the moments that divide a life before and after. With the heart of a poet and the voice of a storyteller who's lived every word, Russell shows us that destiny isn't just what happens to us-it's what we make of it.Perfect for fans of Frank McCourt, Pat Conroy, and memoirs steeped in time, place, and emotional candor, Time and Chance is a lyrical, powerful account of a year that shook the world and shaped one man's future. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
