The Boys In The Boat Pan MacMillan (370078460)

Переведенный на William Hill Sports Book of the Year, это является лучшим местом рождения о том, как сыграли команду игру для Olympic Gold в Nazi Германии. Замок поряд с его семьей в начале года, abandoned and left to fend for himself in the woods of Washington State, young Joe Rantz turns to rowing as away of escaping his past. What follows is extraordinary journey, as Joe and eight other working-class boys exchange sweat and dust of life in the 1930s America for promise of glory at the heart of Hitler's Berlin. Stroke by stroke, a remarkable young man strives to regain його shattered self-regard, to dare again to trust in others – and to find his way back home. Однако на задней части великого депрессии, Daniel James Brown's Boys в Boat je narrative no-fiction of first order; personal story full of lyricism and unexpected beauty that rises above grand sweep of history, and captures instead the purest essence of what it means to be alive. 'I реально can't rave enough about this book . . . И read the last fifty pages with white knuckles, and the last twenty-five with tears in my eyes' – David Laskin, император The Children's Blizzard and The Long Way Home.
