The Miracle of Castel di Sangro
A Tale of Passion and Folly in the Heart of Italy
Joe McGinniss - 2000-06-06 (впервые опубликовано в 1999)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Follow Joe McGinniss as he travels to a remote Italian village to cover a minor league soccer team's unlikely success. Along the way, he develops a bond with an absurd yet irresistible cast of characters, all while introducing readers to an Italy that no tourist guidebook has ever described. Get ready for a sad, funny, desolating, and inspiring story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Great book! Highly recommend. At times an infuriating narrator, but a pretty unbelievable (true!) story and a fascinating look at soccer (il calcio) in Italy. Good looking out, @brendanhunting 🙌🏻      источник

STAND book cover
STAND
A memoir on activism. A manual for progress. What really happens when we stand on the front lines of change. (Bertine Series (New Shelf Press) Book 3)
Kathryn Bertine - 2021-02-01
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover an empowering memoir-turned-manual that takes you behind the scenes of one woman's journey to fight for equal opportunity. Former ESPN columnist and professional cyclist Kathryn Bertine started small, wondering why women aren't allowed at the Tour de France, but her advocacy sparked a decade-long battle for change. In STAND, Bertine shares her story with honesty, humour, and authenticity, covering personal demons, brain injuries, devastating depression, and benched careers to create a poignant message for everyone: we all have the power to create change.

Fun thing I learned in @KathrynBertine’s great book, “Stand”: There’s a van - The “Broomwagon” - in pro cycling that “sweeps” away riders who won’t finish the race in allowed time. The racing equivalent of The Sandman/Executioner of Apollo Amateur Night fame! (Deep cut, kids)      источник
