'Superb - a great book to fuel your wanderlust.' Mark Beaumont'The
ultimate running book, showcasing the ultimate running adventure.'
Sean Conway---In 2019, Nick Butter became the first person to run a
marathon in every country on Earth. This is Nick's story of his
world record-breaking adventure and the extraordinary people who
joined him along the way. On January 6th 2018, Nick Butter tied his
laces and stepped out on to an icy pavement in Toronto, where he
began to take the first steps of an epic journey that would see him
run 196 marathons in every one of the world's 196
countries.Spending almost two years on the road and relying on the
kindness of strangers to keep him moving, Nick's odyssey allowed
him to travel slowly, on foot, immersing himself in the diverse
cultures and customs of his host nations. Running through capital
cities and deserts, around islands and through spectacular
landscapes, Nick dodges bullets in Guinea-Bissau, crosses
battlefields in Syria, survives a wild dog attack in Tunisia and
runs around an erupting volcano in Guatemala. Along the way, he is
often joined by local supporters and fellow runners, curious
children and bemused passers-by.Telling their stories alongside his
own, Nick captures the unique spirit of each place he visits and
forges a new relationship with the world around him. Running the
World captures Nick's journey as he sets three world records and
covers over five thousand miles. As he recounts his adventures, he
shares his unique perspective on our glorious planet, celebrates
the diversity of human experience, and reflects on the overwhelming
power of running.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
