The biographical and autobiographical memoirs contained in "From the Heart" include essays about Harry Geduld's lifelong interests in music, books and movies, about his wife, and about the exceptional lives of his parents. There is also a memoir, "My Dad," by the author's son Marcus. As an unusual finale, Harry Geduld has provided his own unvarnished Obituary to compensate for the fact that he won't be around to read what others may say or write about him after he has gone.
