Centinaia di aneddoti curiosi e sorprendenti sui Giochi olimpici estivi, dal 1896 al 2016: le storie, le rivalità, le emozioni, le sorprese, i sogni di gloria e le beffe del destino. Medaglie e sudore, bandiere e infortuni, volti esultanti, pianti e pettegolezzi succosi. Le Olimpiadi sono l’evento sportivo più importante e coinvolgente del mondo, la competizione che ogni quattro anni (ma a volte, come ci siamo accorti nel 2020, anche qualcuno in più) fa trattenere il fiato agli appassionati di ogni angolo dei cinque continenti. Per la bellezza dello sport, ma anche per tutto ciò che ci sta dietro: oltre i medaglieri e gli albi d’oro c’è un ricco patrimonio di storie, emozioni, rivalità, imprevisti, sorprese e beffe atroci. Perché anche agli atleti migliori del mondo, per quanto possano sembrarci moderni dèi dell’Olimpo, capita di smarrire proprio la valigia con l’attrezzatura fondamentale per gareggiare, o di alzare troppo il gomito nel momento più sbagliato; di ammalarsi, innamorarsi, spaventarsi... o di non svegliarsi in tempo. In questo inesauribile repertorio di storie, scopriamo che si può perdere una medaglia a causa del traffico, o vincerla ma restare totalmente ignoti; che un corridore è scomparso nel nulla durante una gara, e un turista si è ritrovato vincitore su un podio; che un pugile ha perso due volte lo stesso incontro, e che più di un’atleta ha gareggiato, e vinto, mentre era incinta; che ci sono stati gesti di commovente generosità e di imbarazzante bassezza, e che i trucchi per sfuggire all’antidoping possono avere effetti ridicoli e disastrosi... Tra aneddoti inaspettati ed episodi che sembrano usciti da un film hollywoodiano, Storie incredibili delle Olimpiadi racconta con cura e passione tutta la gloria e l’umanità della competizione più bella del mondo. «Una lettura godibilissima che, una volta iniziata, diventa difficile interrompere.» - Tuttosport

Prefazione di GIOVANNI MALAGÒ Ne manca una sola e poi sarà cifra tonda. Capiterà sicuramente a Rio, nei Giochi in arrivo: bel traguardo, le 200 medaglie d’oro conquistate nella storia delle Olimpiadi estive. Aspettando l’evento, qui si parte già con le celebrazioni. Esercizio utile, istruttivo e pure doveroso, prepararsi al futuro ripassando il passato. Specie se è così pieno di emozioni, campioni e trionfi. E allora, eccoli i 199 momenti di gloria dello sport italiano a cinque cerchi. Dal conte Trissino di Parigi 1900 al carabiniere Molfetta di Londra 2012 ci sono due guerre e un mondo nemmeno paragonabile. Dal salto in alto col cavallo al taekwondo c’è un’Olimpiade che ha cambiato quasi tutto, a partire dal suo programma, adeguato ai tempi. La costante è il valore assoluto di quegli ori: il massimo per un atleta che corona così una carriera con il titolo più importante, imponendosi nella gara che condensa gli sforzi di un quadriennio. Sono vittorie speciali, quelle degli olimpionici. Non c’era un libro che raccogliesse quelle colorate di azzurro. Le trovate qui, in ordine cronologico. Diversissime tra di loro, danno sostanza al tesoro più prezioso dello sport italiano, un patrimonio di umanità, tecnica e tradizione che aumenta di valore ogni quattro anni.

Jack, standing among the war graves, sees a face he recognizes. Suddenly, it's 1914 again and he's a young lad back in the trenches. Visions of killing and misery come to him with horrible clarity. But then Jack remembers too the incredible moment when the guns fell silent for a short time, and fighting gave way to football on the frozen ground of No-Man's-Land. This amazing story, based on true facts from the First World War, will transport readers back to the war fields of France and show that even in times of conflict and extreme sadness, there is always hope.

“A witty and lively novel set somewhere between the worlds of Roddy Doyle and Irvine Welsh.” —William Dalyrymple, The Guardian Reminiscent of early Roddy Doyle, Tony Hogan Bought Me an Ice-Cream Float Before He Stole My Ma begins with our singular heroine’s less than idyllic birth and quickly moves to a spectacular fight that lands Janie and her mother in a local women’s shelter. From there it’s on to a dodgy council flat and a succession of unsuitable men, including the hard-drinking, drug-dealing, ice-cream-buying Tony Hogan. Kerry Hudson’s arrestingly original debut will enthrall readers with Janie’s tragicomic and moving story about coming of age in a non-traditional family amid the absurdities of the 1980s and Thatcherite Britain.

'He is skilful. He is outspoken. He is Zlatan' New York Times 'He is an amazing talent, one of the best around' Pep Guardiola Football's most prolific and controversial goalscorer has nothing left to prove on the pitch. There is only one Zlatan. In the decade since his megaselling memoir I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he has played at Paris Saint-Germain (2012-2016), Manchester United (2016-2018), LA Galaxy (2018-2019) and Milan (2020-). This outrageous and hilarious follow-up is bursting with personal confessions and revealing anecdotes about the world's best players and managers. Packed with revelations, in Adrenaline we hear for the first time what Zlatan really thinks about his time in the Premier League and what it was like to score that glorious bicycle kick against England. We hear about the club he very nearly signed for, and see his hilarious run-ins with the French media - and the French in general, really. Plus so much more. Zlatan transports you into the world of top-flight football like no one else. Filled with revelations - including Zlatan's life lessons on happiness, friendship and love - you'll be talking about this book a long time after finishing it.

The Malice Of Herodotus written by Plutarque and has been published by Aris and Phillips Classical Te this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1992 with History categories.
The Malice of Herodotus can perhaps best be described as the world's earliest known book review. But it is much more than that, for in the course of 'correcting' with considerable vituperation what he saw as Herodotus' anti-Greek bias, Plutarch tells us much about his own attitude to writing history. So that together with Lucian's How to Write History (see Lucian A Selection in this series) it forms a basic text for the study of Greek historiography. It is also perhaps the most revealing example of Plutarch's prose style with its rhetorical variety and energy and odd mixture of good and bad argument. But in citing lost works, Plutarch has preserved valuable fragments which don't exist elsewhere and need to be assessed by all students of the Persian Wars. Greek text with translion, introduction and commentary.
