Seeking the Firebird’s Nest by Edward Schwartz carries the reader on a journey where past and present stream by the window of the author’s mind. Human frailty is given voice with hope to reach happiness and teach for the future. Esoteric anecdotes reveal his philosophy of life developed in his personal adventures, trials and accomplishments, all in a fairy tale format. Many years have passed since I was a little boy. Several times in my life the firebird has shown me her face. Did she look like the firebird from the old man’s house or does everybody see his or her own firebird? I do not know. But what I do definitely know is the fact that the taste of tears caused by the firebird’s appearance is the same for all of us.
