About this audiobook

संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में फिलाडेल्फिया प्रांत के उत्तर-पश्चिम में स्थित उप-नगर जर्मनटाउन में जनमा; पला-बढ़ा चार्ल्स ब्रेस डैरो पेशे से घरेलू हीटर बेचनेवाला था। लेकिन 1930 के दशक में जब काला मंगलवार (24 अक्तूबर; 1924) को अमेरिकी शेयर बाजार में भारी गिरावट आई थी और विश्व व्यापी आर्थिक महामंदी (द ग्रेट डिप्रेशन) का दौर शुरू हुआ था; तब हजारों कंपनियों का संचालन बंद हो गया था और लाखों अन्य पेशेवरों की तरह डैरो की नौकरी भी छूट गई थी। अगले तीन वर्षों तक वह लगातार नौकरियाँ बदल रहा था। सन् 1933 में जब उसकी पत्नी दूसरे बच्चे को जन्म देने वाली थी तो डैरो को अपने घर का चूल्हा जलाए रखने के लिए बिजली उपकरण ठीक करने; कंक्रीट बिछाने और यहाँ तक कि धनी लोगों के कुत्ते को टहलाने तक का काम करना पड़ा था।
