Discusses his life on three continents and his three professions - architecture, law and his translations of Polish poetry. Describes how he survived World War II as one of the refugees saved by the Japanese Diplomat, Chiune Sugihara. The culture and history against which this story is played out are dominant themes of the memoir, including vignettes of prewar eastern Europe, pre-war Japan and wartime China, and the post-war innocence of Sydney.
