"The only authorized biography of Victor Frankl, whose life story and reflections have inspired tens of millions. Haddon Klingberg records and preserves the Frankl legacy, with his own eloquent and moving reflections." -- David G. Myers, Hope College, author of "The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty" Written in response to the horrors he experienced and witnessed during the Holocaust, Viktor Frankl's landmark book, "Man's Search for Meaning," has sold millions of copies and been translated into twenty-seven languages. But although Frankl's thought and philosophy have been widely analyzed, until now little has been written about his life, and about the deeply loving, intensely spiritual relationship that led him and his wife to dedicate their lives to reducing pain and oppression in the world. In a book that is at once a wonderful love story and a tribute to two extraordinary people, Haddon Klingberg, Jr., draws on a wealth of anecdotes, told to him by the Frankls themselves, to describe their separate early lives and their fifty-two years as husband and wife. Returning to Vienna after spending three years in four different concentration camps, Frankl, whose first wife and family died in the camps, turned to writing as a way of finding some purpose in his life. But it was Elly Schwindt, a woman half his age, who helped him put the pieces of his broken life together. Married in 1947, the Frankls created a life of hope and faith, a life committed to proclaiming the oneness of the human family, challenging materialistic values, and encouraging the pursuit of meaning. "When Life Calls Out to Us" chronicles a spiritual journey infused with tragedy butsustained by love, wisdom, faith, and humor. Klingberg's extensive interviews, not available anywhere else, reveal the full richness of the Frankls' lives and beautifully illuminate their enduring contributions toward a better world for all people. "From the Hardcover edition."
