This book documents inspiring, heart-warming, humorous and cautionary stories of numerous amazing individuals who left their own countries either willingly or by force. Some of the immigrants included in these volumes worked fantastically hard to immerse themselves into new cultures and languages, and as a result achieved resounding success in making their fortunes in the new countries they chose to call home. Others, however, climbed to giddy heights only to fall spectacularly from grace either through misfortune or miscalculation. From an Irish priest who rose to power through the mysterious hierarchs of the Vatican City to a brilliant Lebanese architect who hit the big time in Paris; from a crass Russian oligarch in London to a headstrong Turkish businessman who lost his fortune in Arabia, each of these immigrants teaches us something about what it means to start a new life in a foreign land.
