The Art of Freedom by Milan Heger

Growing up in Slovakia in the 1960's, a naturally gifted artist finds his dreams of attending art school dashed. Unbroken, he reads restricted books and finds ways to pursue his art, finally coming to the realization that without freedom, art cannot thrive. Loosely based on the author's real life, The Art of Freedom offers a glimpse into growing up in a totalitarian regime where creativity is discouraged but not easily killed. It is a story of the undying human spirit, the courage to pursue your dreams, and the power of art to transcend and eventually provide the ultimate freedom.
