Robert Connor: The 1968 London to Sydney Marathon: A History of the 10,000 Mile Endurance Rally
Description
On November 24, 1968, more than 250 people from 19 nations set off on a 10,000-mile endurance rally from London to Sydney. Crossing 10 countries, competitors encountered officious border guards, gangs of rock-throwing children, treacherous driving conditions, collisions, breakdowns, injuries, wayward dogs, livestock, camels and kangaroos, millions of spectators crowding the roads and even bandits. Among the professional drivers were a large number of enthusiastic amateurs, many of whom had never raced in their lives.
'Winton's writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep sentiment and metaphysics' Sunday Telegraph A fishing trip marks the end of Jerra and Sean's friendship, although once, when they were younger and more innocent, it would have seemed unbelievable that the bond between them -- first forged by their fathers, and later sealed with their blood -- could ever be broken. But growing up has meant growing apart, the differences between them widening, sharpening their teasing words into something crueller and less easy to forgive. At once a haunting and a powerful exploration of the horrors The 1968 London to Sydney Marathon: A History of the 10,000 Mile Endurance Rally download epub and joys of adulthood, An Open Swimmer is also a meditation on past and present, a story of madness and murder, and of the punishing yet redemptive qualities of both fire and water. 'His elegiac novels are uplifting and cathartic dissections of fractured men and women' Independent 'Winton has a fine ear for both intimate and monumental scales of drama' Evening Standard
