Used book – Reunion, Fred Uhlman, Arthur Koestler, Léo Lack

"I cannot remember exactly the day I decided Conrad had to become my friend, but I had no doubt he would. Until his arrival, I had been without a friend. There wasn't a single boy in my class who met my romantic ideal of friendship, not one I truly admired, for whom I would willingly have given my life and who would have understood my need for absolute trust, self-sacrifice, and loyalty."
