Title: The Race of My Life

Subtitle: An Autobiography

Author: Milkha Singh, Sonia Sanwalka

Narrator: Sagar Arya

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Milkha Singh has led a life dominated by running, running, running....from a boy who narrowly escaped death during Partition (most of his family was not so lucky) to a juvenile delinquent who stole and outran the police to a young army recruit who ran his very first race to win special privileges for himself (a daily glass of milk). After that first race, Milkha Singh became an athlete by default. And what followed was the stuff legends are made of.

In this remarkably candid autobiography, Milkha Singh shares the amazing highs of winning India's first-ever gold in athletics at the Commonwealth Games, the unbridled joy of being hailed as the Flying Sikh in Pakistan, and the shattering low of failure at the Olympics. Simple yet ambitious; famous yet grounded; temptations all around him yet remaining celibate so he could focus on racing; a rich and beautiful girl who was desperate for him yet fighting the world to marry his lady love, Nimmi, even as the on-field drama found its way into his personal life, Milkha was a man who defined his own destiny. And yet for a man whose life was dominated by sports, he continues to remain disillusioned with the way sports is run.

Powerful and gripping, The Race of My Life documents the journey of an impoverished refugee who rose to become one of the most towering figures in Indian sports.

Members Reviews:

A powerful story written quite simply

The legend, Milkha Singh, writes his story in the most simplistic fashion. It's an easy read and an inspirational narrative. He portrays the importance of setting realistic but ambitious goals at different stages of his life and directs all his focus on achieving these goals one-by-one. There are instances where I felt he was being hypocritical, but on reading further, understood his reasons behind those actions. Overall, India needs more people like him to change the face of it's dismal sports record as it stands today.

Very inspiring

The book is very inspiring and filled with lot of true facts of what is happening in the Indian sport. The approach towards sport he had is very much required in other areas too if India wants to be one of the leading nations in the world. Before it becomes too late, India needs to plan developing the talent in every area right from the very early age. The talent not only needs to be recognised but systems need to be set up to groom the same.

Good book to understand the film "BMB"

Thanks a lot for the excellent shipping. I got it before the film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" was released in Japan and this book contributed for my viewing.

Insightful

Book's not bad, great story telling but sort of amateurish. End of the book focuses on his personally agenda with advancing sport in India which isn't as interesting as his first hand account of his life story.

The writing is okay but the message is amazing and so the five stars

The writing is okay but the message is amazing and so the five stars! What a life he has lived! A must read.

Title: The Long Run

Author: Catriona Menzies-Pike

Narrator: Zehra Jane Naqvi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-06-16

Publisher: Wavesound Audio

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

No one ever expected Catriona Menzies-Pike to run a marathon. She hated running and was a hopeless athlete. But a decade after her parents died suddenly, she started running and found that her grief started to move, too.

Until very recently it was frowned upon for women to run long distances. Running was deemed unladylike - and probably dangerous. How did this sport go from being suspect to wildly popular? This fascinating book combines memoir and cultural history to explore this rich and contradictory topic.

Members Reviews:

Good running memoir!

I was looking forward to this book because I love to read books about running, especially memoirs! And this author is articulate and educated, and has a definite feminist point of view. She included a lot of running history I hadn't heard before, as well as some I did know, and I really enjoyed reading about the different historical perceptions of women as runners. She is from Australia, so I enjoyed hearing a less US-centric point of view!

Five Stars

Beautiful, beautiful memoir and history of women's running.

Five Stars

Enjoyable fast reading book!

The Lives Before and After

My daughter has run the Boston Marathon four times and has run up the tallest mountain in New England, Mt Washington. I am so proud of her and her expertise, but all this time I have wondered why. Many of her friends over the last twenty years were made in a running club, so I understood the bond of the runner.

In this book, Catriona Menzies-Pike relates her story of running. Born to a father who loved running,and a mother who did not, Catriona had no wish to run. They lived in Sydney, and it was a grand place to grow up. It was not until her parents died in a tragic plane accident when she was 20, that she began to think about running. Dealing with her grief and those of her sisters, she finished her college work. She went to Paris on a scholarship, and came back home. She decided to join a gym,which led to running five miles on a treadmill, and worked her way up to running outside.

Catriona tells us of dealing with her grief by running, and then beginning to realize that she felt better. As she explains in her book, running is not gender neutral. Running has a long history for women, thus the term 'running like a woman'. She delves into the history of running, nutrition, clothing and advice. There had been no book for her about women in running, and she decided to write her own book for the rest of us. This is a fascinating look at running and women, and told with such a superb manner that I fell right into the book. A couple of hours later, and I realized the wisdom that had come. A book for every woman runner.

Great Book for Any Runner

Picking up this book, I didnât really feel like I was in the target demographic. The book centers on the Australian authorâs own experiences in life, but it emphasizes early on the importance of feminism in her life and how that has shaped who she is. Her description of women-only races and the atmosphere leaves me a bit humbled as a man reading, wondering where the book is going and what the opinions are going to be.

But even though that first chapter seems written to empower the gender opposite my own, there were many relatable parts that kept me hooked and forced me to continue to read. I could relate to the strength of the young woman as Iâve seen the same strength in my adult daughter.

Title: Like Farmer, Like Son

Author: Adam Henson

Narrator: Adam Henson, Nicky Henson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-20-16

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

People say 'like father, like son', and the story of my life has mirrored my father's to a quite uncanny degree. Right from when I was a little boy, he was my rock, my mentor, my hero. It is no exaggeration to say that he taught me virtually everything I know about both country life and television. Without him I certainly would not be doing what I am today.

Agriculture and show business may appear to be unlikely bedfellows, but for Countryfile presenter Adam Henson - as for his father, Joe, who tragically passed away in the autumn of 2015 - they are the twin poles that have defined his life. First and foremost Adam is a farmer. Raised on the same farm in Gloucestershire, Bemborough Farm, that he runs today, Adam can often be found with his sleeves rolled up, involved in every element of the day-to-day operations.

Like Farmer, Like Son is a truly remarkable account of Adam's life that explores a hidden family history and the unbreakable bond between Adam and his lifelong hero: his father, Joe. In the 1940s and '50s, Joe, the son of stage and film star Leslie Henson, chose a completely different path alien to his thespian parents and decided to pursue a career as a farmer.

In addition Joe overcame a serious stammer to become a regular broadcaster on Country Matters and the saviour of Britain's rare breeds. He even put his business and his reputation at stake to open the world's first Farm Park.

Here, for the first time, Adam reveals the family traits, childhood experiences and farming wisdom which have made him the man he is today. As he trawls the family archive and discovers his own bloodline, Adam learns to understand and appreciate the famous grandfather he never knew and pays tribute to the wonderful father he has so recently lost.

Members Reviews:

Narrator

Very good but would have preferred Adam himself reading the book it would have been more authentic

Best ever

I have loved watching Adam on Countryfile and this book was just so great to listen to.

Wonderful book

I worked for one season at the Cotswold Farm Park in my early 20s (circa 1988) so this book made me feel a tad nostalgic for those days of living in the Cotswolds. Adams storytelling and obvious love and admiration of his dad is a great tribute to Joe Henson. A wonderful book which was incredibly touching. Beautifully read by Adams uncle.

Great.

Lovely story and family life well read by great actor emotional chapter 20 thanks so much.

Title: I Am Duran

Subtitle: The Autobiography of Roberto Duran

Author: Roberto Duran

Narrator: Henry Leyva

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-08-16

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

They called him Hands of Stone.

In his own words, and for the first time, Roberto Duran tells his unbelievable story in I Am Duran: The Autobiography of Robert Duran.

From the mean streets of Panama to the bright lights of Las Vegas, blazing a trail through the golden decade of boxing, Duran, in unflinching form, dispels myths and lays bare the cost of conquering the world. He also returns to the debacle that entered sporting folklore during his rematch with Sugar Ray Leonard, when he uttered the infamous words "no mas" - no more.

Starting life in abject poverty as the illegitimate son of a serving US soldier, Duran quickly realized that his fists could both protect him on the streets and put food on the table. His reputation in and out of the ring travelled the corridors of boxing power on the day, for a bet, he knocked down a horse with a single punch.

From his stunning debut in New York to the glorious defeat of Sugar Ray Leonard, the world titles and the chaos that ensued after the No Mas encounter, Duran's explosive life in the ring was matched only by the volatility outside of it as he lurched from kingmaker to bankruptcy before the ultimate ending of a bloody comeback and, finally, redemption.

Titolo: Yasuhiro Yamashita: Il talento e la tenacia della leggenda del judo (I grandi dello sport)

Autore: Franz Campi

Narratore: Lorenzo Visi

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 31 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 08-04-16

Editore: Area51 Publishing

Categoria: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Riepilogo Editore:

Un audiobook per ogni appassionato di arti marziali. La serie "I grandi dello sport" ti fa rivivere le gesta e la vita dei più grandi campioni nella storia del loro sport: Marco Pantani, il re del ciclismo, Yasuhiro Yamashita, maestro judoka, e Robin Friday, calciatore ribelle dal talento innato.

Tra gli atleti più famosi del Giappone spicca sicuramente il nome di Yasuhiro Yamashita, campione indiscusso dell'arte marziale judo in patria e all'estero. Yamashita è un perfetto esempio di come la tua formazione e la tua prestanza fisica non influiscano così tanto su un'eventuale carriera sportiva quando sorrette dalla forza di volontà, dalla passione e dalla determinazione per un obiettivo. Grassoccio e impacciato, il giovane Yasuhiro è diventato campione di judo a soli 19 anni e da lì è stata una scalata verso l'Olimpo dei judoka. Un esempio di grande disciplina e talento innato, che hanno portato una persona umile e modesta ad essere un grandissimo campione nella sua disciplina e... anche eroe nazionale in Giappone!

Ma il judo non è solo uno sport, è anche una filosofia, che insegna a rispettare il prossimo e le regole. L'autore ce lo comunica in questo passaggio: "Un bambino timido ed insicuro con il judo può trovare un grande giovamento. E al tempo stesso uno troppo aggressivo impara il controllo di sé stesso. Come anche fa il karate, aiuta a socializzare e a porsi degli obiettivi: c'è un riconoscimento formale agli sforzi per migliorarsi con il raggiungimento di nuove cinture dai colori diversi. E poi un altro gesto molto istruttivo: quando si cade, e come dicevamo si cade tante volte nello judo, si impara a rialzarsi. Una perfetta metafora: occorre imparare a non farsi abbattere dalle innumerevoli sconfitte quotidiane che tutti subiamo nella vita reale."

Riepilogo Editore:

Un audiobook per ogni appassionato di calcio. La serie "I grandi dello sport" ti fa rivivere le gesta e la vita dei più grandi campioni nella storia del loro sport: Marco Pantani, il re del ciclismo, Yasuhiro Yamashita, maestro judoka, e Robin Friday, calciatore ribelle dal talento innato.

La vita e la carriera di Robin Friday sono un esempio perfetto per chi non crede che sia il talento a fare almeno il 90% del lavoro. Nato in una situazione non certo piacevole e cresciuto in un ambiente a dir poco malsano, Robin dimostra fin da subito un grande talento innato per il calcio, ma anche un bruttissimo e caotico carattere che lo porterà contemporaneamente sulla strada per il successo e sulla brutta strada.

Insofferente, ruspante, poco ortodosso, sognatore e disobbediente, Robin trova a fatica il posto nella società, ma è chiaro fin da subito che troverà il suo posto nell'Olimpo dei calciatori: gioca come se non ci fosse un domani e a discapito della sua situazione morale e fisica che, nel tempo, hanno cominciato a disgregarsi sempre di più.

Una vita di successi e di eccessi senza mai toccare la cima, senza mai giocare nelle serie più alte e tanto meno in nazionale. Una carriera fulminante e brevissima in cui ha dimostrato di essere uno sportivo di grande talento sul campo, nonostante le difficoltà della vita.

"Robin Friday, talento cristallino e personalità sopra le righe, artista e ribelle, pazzo e lunatico. La sua carriera era finita nel 1977, con il picco massimo di qualche gol in Seconda Divisione, eppure il suo mito è rimasto immortale: ultima vera rock-star del calcio, avrebbe potuto giocare tranquillamente in Nazionale, essere un idolo strapagato e conteso da sponsor e riviste. Ma ha invece preferito restare se stesso fino in fondo, diventando così "il più grande calciatore che non avete mai visto" (dalla conclusione dellautore).
