For more than a millennium, the ancient Olympics captured the imaginations of the Greeks, until a Christianized Rome terminated the competitions in the fourth century AD. But the Olympic ideal did not die and this book is a succinct history of the ancient Olympics and their modern resurgence. Classics professor David Young, who has researched the subject for over 25 years, reveals how the ancient Olympics evolved from modest beginnings into a grand festival, attracting hundreds of highly trained athletes, tens of thousands of spectators, and the finest artists and poets.

For the record-breaking third time London will be hosting the Olympic Games in 2012. From the inception of Baron Pierre de Courbetin’s crusade to revive the Games of the ancient Greeks, in the 1890s, through the triumphs and disasters of twenty-nine Olympiads, The Daily Telegraph has been there to provide eye-witness accounts of the greatest sporting moments in history with characteristic authority. This comprehensive and colourful review of the summer Olympics takes you back to 1908, the first time London held the Games, with Dorando Pietri’s infamous disqualification in the marathon. Then to Fanny Blankers-Koen and Emil Zatopek lifeting the War-scarred capital in the Austerity Games of 1948. With more recent record-breaking moments from the Olympics of Sydney, Athens and Beijing, this is the perfect scene-setter for the Games’ return to London. From Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett to Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis, Kelly Holmes, Steve Redgrave, Ian Thorpe and Daley Thompson, the tears and the glory of all the heroes and villains from 116 years of Olympic history are collected here in this wonderful anthology of the greatest show on earth.

"This compelling commemorative publication of the first one hundred years of the Olympic Summer Games presents the breathtaking athletic achievements, in all twenty-six disciplines, that have defined the Olympic tradition. Olympic Dreams follows the Olympic movement from the early Olympiads, which featured archaic sports like tug-of-war, all the way to the exciting new events of the 1996 Atlanta Games. With graphics and extraordinary photographs, many rarely seen or never before published, photography historian Douglas Collins offers a penetrating look at the athletes who have revolutionized their sport, whether with technical innovation or enormous emotional courage. Specially designed graphics by Nigel Holmes highlight these achievements and help explain the athletic techniques that have permanently changed some Olympic events. Drawing from the world's finest Olympic resources - the United States Olympic Committee Archives, the Hulton Deutsch Archives and Allsport - and with a design by prize-winning art director Mirko Ilic, this is the indispensable book of the Olympic Games."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
