ISBN: 0593512308
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Now a Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney The #1 New York Times bestselling true story about the American rowing triumph of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—from the author of Facing the Mountain For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

Onward to Victory
Author: Murray Sperber
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 146687645X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 882
Book Description
From the acclaimed author of Shake Down the Thunder, Murray Sperber's Onward to Victory is a brilliant, detailed, and engrossing work of social history for not only sports fans, but anyone interested in the development of modern American culture. With the 1940 release of the classic film Knute Rockne, All American, the myth of the hero scholar-athlete was born, and with it came the age of big-time college sports in America. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, including press accounts, letters and diaries, historical papers, and interviews with many who were there, Murray Sperber recounts how the myths created by Hollywood studios were embellished and codified by a hungry press, infiltrating the collective unconscious with epic stories of players, coaches, and teams. As college sports became a mainstay of popular entertainment, they also were fertile ground for near-fatal scandal, ultimately giving rise to the modern NCAA. Sperber vividly re-creates the world of postwar America, with its all-powerful radiomen, its lurid press, its growing prosperity, and, of course, the infancy of television

Pages : 350
Book Description
The telling of this story begins during the period of Dr. Israel Newman’s grief inflicted by the traumatic death of his toddler son, Markus. As a necessity of heaven, he insists it must be a physical place where he can hold his son again. One day, on his way to work as a pain management specialist caring for people dependent on opioids, he observes impossible changes of Mount Rainier, with disappearance and reappearance of Tahoma Peak. He thinks he might be losing his mind. In his psychology support group, a socially and professionally ostracized genius of physics, the amusing Michael Hannity, suggests that what really happened was Israel’s mind moving between different timelines. As Michael explains spiritual travel in relativistic spacetime, Israel sees and hopes for a possibility to prevent the death of his son. He cannot control his travels and experiences horror, romance, humor, and intrigue in the lives of others. He falls in love. At the end of a series of hellish experiences, he encounters for the first time, Jesus as a lad of twelve, who admonishes him to make heaven in the lives of others. Jesus appears again and again, and in whose lives? We see a psychologically troubled, human Jesus and within him an omniscient presence. A tour-de-force of imagination, wildly inventive and funny as well as thought-provoking and moving, this book will draw you into a world you never dreamed of. It answers many questions and asks some more. You will want to talk about it.
