    About this ebook

    Rozamunda, is the first story in a series At the Crossroads. Events presented here are not necessarily true, but almost possible. Everything depends on the imagination of the reader. Those, who do not believe in anything, will not like this book and it is directed not to them.
    But someone who has at least partially awakened imagination, can understand what is going on without asking questions. Such readers I appreciate the most and to them At the Crossroad is dedicated.
    Stories will appear every month until the end of the book, free of charge.
    I cordially greet all readers.

    Andrzej Galicki (Andre Gal - his English pen name) was born in Warsaw, where he spent his childhood and early youth. After graduating from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, a Plock branch of the Warsaw Politechnika School, he began to work as a site engineer on a number of priority construction sites, including the construction of the Central Railway Station in Warsaw.In 1980, discouraged by the prevailing social relations in the People's Republic of Poland, he left the country. He has never been a member of the Polish Communist Party and considers this to be his greatest achievement from that period of life.He lived successively in several cities (Paris, Vienna, Toronto) before permanently settlingin Montreal, where he still lives today with his wife, Marlena. He works as a designer for one of the leading engineering companies in Canada, at the planification of hydroelectric power plants, while during his free time, he engages in his literary projects.So far, he has written eight books: The Bench, Candlelight Stories, Behind the Big Water, White Valley, At the Crossroads, Zawrotna Street, Orion and It happened in Montreal, of which some are still not disponible in English. He has visited all the places described in his books with the exception of a hospital for the mentally ill (so far). The events depicted in his novels are partially veritables, but the characters appearing in them are fictitious.Besides literature, he is busy with painting, having exhibited his works in Montreal, New Jersey and New York, some of his paintings he used to provide the covers of his books. Several of them can be viewed on the website "Artsland": http://www.artslant.comHis books are available on most networks of Polish internet bookstores as well on some U.S. sites, such as amazon.comThe author cordially greets all his readers, wishing them a great time during their venture into the jungle of the best books they can find on the net.http://kindlebooksnew.com/author-3.htmlAndrzej GalickiUrodził się w Warszawie, gdzie spędził dzieciństwo i wczesną młodość.Po ukończeniu studiów na wydziale Inżynierii Lądowej płockiego oddziałuPolitechniki Warszawskiej, rozpoczął pracę w zawodzie budowlańca.Pracował jako inżynier na kilku priorytetowych budowach warszawskich,między innymi przy budowie Dworca Centralnego.W roku 1980, zniechęcony stosunkami społecznymi panującymi w PRL, wyjechał z kraju. Nigdy nie był członkiem PZPR i to uważa za swoje największe osiągnięciez tamtego okresu życia.Zamieszkiwał kolejno w kilku miastach (Paryż, Wiedeń, Toronto) zanim na stałe osiedliłsię w Montrealu, gdzie mieszka do dzisiaj ze swoją żoną Marleną.Pracuje jako projektant przy budowie elektrowni wodnych, jednocześnie zajmuje się twórczością literacką czerpiąc materiały do swoich książek ze wspomnień.Napisał osiem książek: „Ławka”, „Opowieści przy Świecach”, „Biała Dolina”, „Za Wielką Wodą”, „Na Rozdrożu”, „Ulica Zawrotna”, „Orion” oraz „Zdarzyło się w Montrealu”.Przebywał we wszystkich opisywanych przez siebie miejscach z wyjątkiem szpitala dla chorych umysłowo (jak dotychczas).
