From Beacon Point : my journey, my story / the autobiography of Dr. Maurice Matich (Snr).

Prikaz sadržaja prema nakladniku: "Beacon Point is the lower point of Ongange Bay, where Visko and Lucy Matich settled with their growing family in 1920 and where their son Maurice spent his early childhood. At the time of Visko and Lucy's migration in 1906, Racisce on the island of Korcula, was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. During World War I they were known as Dalmatians and were classified as enemy aliens and treated as such. This historical and autobiographical work by Dr Maurice Matich traces the history of the Matich and Silich families from their beginnings in Racisce through their migration to New Zealand in the early 1900s. It tells of Maurice's childhood on the Kaipara Harbour, his journey into medicine during World War II, and his return to the Kaipara district where he served the community for 50 years as a rural general practitioner until his retirement in the year 2000. This book serves as a beacon to those who wish to overcome adversity and achieve through an intense determination to pursue education. It is also a story about the value of family. In his 92nd year he is still living in Dargaville with his wife Maureen, to whom he attributes much of his success."
