Recenzii
FINALLY, the hidden life of a blazing star has been revealed, and it's even more spellbinding than I imagined. No one accomplished more on the Olympic track than Emil Zatopek, no runner was more revered and beloved, yet none of us knew what happened when he suddenly vanished from the outside world. I've been hungry to read this story for years, and in Endurance I found all the secrets, drama, and heartache of an extraordinary life. Endurance reminded me why we share this odd urge to burst out the door and run till we can't breathe, and how for one rare talent, it created greatest and most devastating moments of his life.
Broadbent reveals Zátopek's remarkable, poignant story with thoughtfulness and journalistic energy
Meticulously researched and boasts extensive interviews with people close to Zátopek
This is the first proper biography of the man who revolutionised running but whose misfortune was to do so in troubled political times
Zátopek's is a fascinating story of determination and drive. For the real tale, read the book.
Rick Broadbent is an outstanding journalist and he has researched his subject deeply
This 314-page book, although thoroughly documenting his races, constitutes a fascinating and often disturbing account of Zátopek's life off the track.
Endurance is an excellent biography
A fantastic read from beginning to end
Rick Broadbent is a skilful and experienced sports writer
Rather than focus solely on Zátopek's life, Broadbent spends many pages writing about the men Zátopek's life touched. It's an approach that works splendidly . [It] gives the reader a better sense of Zátopek's place in the world
