Forced to flee Nazi Germany for being Jewish, he was then interned in England for being German. Shipped to Australia on the notorious HMT Dunera, he spent two years in internment camps in Hay and Tatura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter returning to Britain, his life evolved into a spiritual quest that led him to become an Anglican vicar, author popular books (including \u003cem\u003eGod Is No More\u003c\/em\u003e), frequently appear on the BBC, and become a Guardian columnist. Decades after his wartime Australian exile, he returned to teach Sociology at La Trobe University, continuing his search for a new way of thinking, a new mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1980s, a young university student, Roger Averill, was taught by this quietly charismatic man. The two developed an unlikely friendship, one that was to last until Werner's death, after which Roger's research unexpectedly revealed a deeper dimension—a personal life filled with familial drama, pain, and poignancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth memoir and biography, \u003cem\u003eExile: The Lives and Hopes of Werner Pelz\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling account of a remarkable man's life-long search for a truth unbound by orthodoxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843480867052,"sku":"9781921924217","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7653293482872.jpg?v=1758801569","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/exile-by-roger-averill-9781921924217","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
