Sinopse

The record-breaking cyclist shares his battle with bipolar disorder: “One of the best and most moving sports books I have read” (The Times).  Number 10 on Cycle Sport's list of Best 50 Cycling Books of All Time   On July 17, 1993, cyclist Graeme Obree stunned the world when he emerged from obscurity to smash Francesco Moser’s World Hour Record. The Flying Scotsman is his searing autobiography, from his tough upbringing in Scotland, where he found escape on the roads, to his head-to-head duels with Chris Boardman and his rise to stardom on the European circuit.   Obree created massive controversy in the professional cycling world with his unique riding style and his pioneering construction techniques—famously using washing-machine parts to complete the building of his “Old Faithful.” Yet all his sporting success was achieved in the shadow of mental illness and suicidal despair. In this book, he tells his amazing life story—with all its ups and downs.   “Hard-hitting and brutally honest.” —Cycling Weekly

    Lenin Lives Next Door - Marriage...

    "You can't make this stuff up."  
    So says American writer, Imperial Russia enthusiast, Romanov junkie, and veteran expatriate, Jennifer Eremeeva, who has lived for the last twenty years in Russia after she fell in love with, and married HRH, her Handsome Russian Husband (occasionally a.k.a. Horrible Russian Husband). Luckily for Eremeeva, she didn't need to make up most of the events that inspired this, her first novel. When she (and her alter-ego heroine, coincidentally named Jennifer) quit her job to write full time, she became enthralled with the dingy gray building across the courtyard from her apartment, where, it turned out, Vladimir Lenin's embalmed corpse was routinely freshened up and preserved. The result is Lenin Lives Next Door: Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow.  
    Based on Eremeeva's two decades in Russia, Lenin Lives Next Door knits together vignettes of cross-cultural marriage and expatriate life with sharp observation, colorful historical background, and engaging humor. Each thematic chapter is an anecdotal exploration of an aspect of life in today's Russia, told with the help of a recurring cast of eccentric Russian and expat characters.  
    Lenin Lives Next Door introduces readers to Russians in their everyday milieu: at their dachas, in three-day traffic jams, and celebrating their 300-plus public and professional holidays with mayonnaise-based salads. For anyone who has ever long to visit Russia, this witty and engaging novel is the perfect tour guide. Short listed for a total of ten prestigious publishing awards Lenin Lives Next Door is a delightfully fresh inside look at Russia by a recovering Russophile.

    In 1914, at the age of 51, the novelist and poet May Sinclair volunteered to leave the comforts of England to go to the Western Front, joining the Munro Ambulance Corps ministering to wounded Belgian soldiers in Flanders.  Her experiences in the Great War, brief and traumatizing as they were, permeated the prose and poetry she wrote after this time.  Witness of great human pain and tragedy, Sinclair was in serious danger of her life on multiple occasions.  This journal makes no attempt to be anything more than a journal:  a lucid, simple, heart-breaking account of war at first hand. - Summary by Expatriate
