Una sorprendente combinación de pasión deportiva y talento literario: un libro ágil, fascinante y repleto de detalles para disfrutar.El deporte ha sido tema literario de todos los tiempos, desde los juegos funebres de Patroclo en la Iliada, pasando por los torneos del Cantar de Mio Cid, a la obra de autores contemporaneos de todo el mundo.En El deporte en la literatura se cuenta como esta ha narrado la evolucion del deporte desde Grecia y Roma a nuestros dias,en una sociedad profundamente deportivizada. A veces el riquisimo lenguaje del deporte sirve como termino de comparacion para la literatura, y otras es el argumento conductor de una obra.No hay una unica acepcion del deporte, sino que son variadas y hasta opuestas en ocasiones: el deporte ha sido instrumentalizado politicamente por algunos regimenes; algunos lo sienten como una religion; para otros es solo ejercicio fisico que a veces se convierte en obsesivo; otros consideran su practica secundaria y viven el espectaculo con pasion y hasta con fanatismo. En fin, puede ser un negocio y hasta un arte.El deporte es tambien poesia y lo es desde el cantor de los Juegos Olimpicos de Grecia, Pindaro, hasta Alberti, Celaya o Luis Alberto de Cuenca.

Uninspirador testimoniosobre laslecciones quenoshandejado losgriegossobreelarte decorrer.¿Por qué corremos? Todo el esfuerzo y el dolor, ¿con qué fin? ¿A qué obedece este amor por la tonificación muscular, la velocidad y el sudor? Los deportistas de la Grecia clasica fueron los primeros en plantearse estas preguntas, los primeros en suspender la guerra, el trabajo o la politica para disfrutar de celebraciones publicas de las proezas atleticas, como en los celebres Juegos Olimpicos. Inventaron el deporte y tambien fueron los primeros en comprender como la actividad fisica se relaciona con nuestro bienestar mental.Despues de toda una vida entre libros y gramaticas, tratando de ver el mundo como un instruido griego de la antiguedad, Andrea Marcolongo empezo a entrenar y se propuso aprender a correr como ellos. Lo hizo acompañada por el primer manual deportivo de la historia, Deartegymnastica, de Filostrato, y motivada por un loco proposito final: correr un maraton. Mejor dicho, correr los 41,8 kilometros que separan Maraton de Atenas, como hizo el soldado Filipides hace dos mil quinientos años, antes de caer al suelo extenuado. En el proceso, Marcolongo profundizo en su comprension de la antigua civilizacion a la que ha dedicado decadas de estudio y descubrio mas sobre si misma de lo que jamas hubiera soñado.Sobre la autora y su obra la critica ha dicho: Marcolongo es la Montaigne de la actualidad. Andre AcimanMarcolongo no pontifica sobre los griegos ni sobre como deberiamos vivir de forma mas sana. Mas bien, relata como supero desafios en su propia vida y tomo las riendas de unas decisiones que desconocia.Cultura alfemminile

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

Cork, the largest county in Ireland, has hundreds of miles of indented coastline, which is regarded as one of the scenic jewels of the country. John M. Feehan sailed alone in a small boat around the West Cork coast in search of true peace, his land of hearts desire, his isle of the blest. The result is a book that is not only a profound spiritual odyssey but a magnificent account of the wild rugged coastline, the peaceful coves and the unique characters he met in this beautiful, unspoiled corner of Ireland. John M. Feehan writes with great charm, skill and sympathy, and with a mischievous roguish humour, often at his own expense. His sharp eye misses nothing. He sees the mystery, beauty and wonder in ordinary things, and brings situations and people vividly to life.

I want, through this written record, to articulate what a rich blessing it is to be a fisherman.

A wonderful read from start to finish Iona Stephen, Sky Sports presenter, commentator and host From the moment women began hosting championships of their own in 1893, one of golfs burning questions became whether any woman would ever approach the mythical ideal of playing perfect golf.
