The Rider de Tim Krabbe

The Rider

Autor Tim Krabbe Editat de Colin Dickerman Traducere de Sam Garrett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2003

The instant cult classic about biking, road racing, and the bicyclists who love their sport.

Originally published in Holland in 1978, The Rider went on to sell more than 100,000 copies. Brilliantly conceived and written at a break-neck pace, it is a loving, imaginative, and, above all, passionate tribute to the art of bicycle road racing.

Tim Krabbé begins this story at the very start of the Tour de Mont Aigoual, ready to race his rivals through the mountains of Central France. Over the course of the 150 pages that follows, Krabbé takes his bike 150 kilometers, and pulls his readers into the life of the sport he loves.

The Rider is beloved as a bicycle odyssey, a literary masterpiece, and the ultimate book for bike lovers as well as the arm-chair sports enthusiast.

Recenzii

The Riderperfectly captures the grim satisfaction and endorphin-thrillthat comes from riding a bike faster than you did the time before. It's also a reminder of the pure pleasure of reading
A classic. Like all the best sports writing, The Rider manages to convey the excitement, determination and skill of the competitors even to readers who have little or no knowledge of the sport
He lays bare the athlete's peculiar mixture of arrogance and terror, viciousness and camaraderie, and the result is one of the more convincing love stories of recent memory
The Rider is a beautiful brute, as hard and fast as a thin wheel in a concrete road
Its 148 pages will flash by in a blur of reckless, high-speed pleasure
