ABOUT AUTHOR

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Diablo Valley College, the University of California at Berkeley, and UCLA. I taught writing at San Jose State University and Stanford before becoming a technical writer and editor. I now write narrative nonfiction books full time. My primary interest as a writer is in bringing compelling historical events to life as vividly and accurately as I can.

I live in the country outside of Seattle, Washington with my wife, two daughters, and an assortment of cats, dogs, chickens, and honeybees. When I am not writing, I am likely to be birding, gardening, fly fishing, reading American history, or chasing bears away from the bee hives.

穿过激流的命运 赛艇是一项“贵族运动”,堪比高尔夫球。在今日之中国,这一“很高雅”的运动方式,也因装备和场地的高要求,普通百姓还只有“望而却步”的份。所以,在二十世纪初,“玩”赛艇的绝对是非富即贵。比如,当时统领美国赛艇圈的,只有哈佛、耶鲁等贵族名校的赛艇队...

The Boys in the Boat 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

For readers of Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit and Unbroken, the dramatic story of the American rowing team that stunned the world at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics

Daniel James Brown’s robust book tells the story of the University of Washington’s 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936.

The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat builder, but it is their trust in each other that makes them a victorious team. They remind the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together—a perfect melding of commitment, determination, and optimism.

Drawing on the boys’ own diaries and journals, their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate story of nine working-class boys from the American west who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what true grit really meant. It will appeal to readers of Erik Larson, Timothy Egan, James Bradley, and David Halberstam's The Amateurs.

This book starts with the hardships Joe Rantz endured in the early years. It expands into the story of the nine crew rowing team from University of Washington. On their inspirational journey to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, they overcame numerous obstacles. Being bound together by pride and love, they became something larger than themselves.

评分

读完最大的感触:梦想还是要有的,万一实现了呢! P.S. 好想拥有一颗赛艇呀!

评分

好书啊!!!实在是好书。几年以来听过的最好非虚构。

评分

Joe个人的成长经历太心酸太痛苦了,好在后来遇见了陪伴他一生的Joyce;9个人和教练以及造船师的故事则热血激昂,那些小细节和小插曲让每个人的形象都非常立体;而对同一时期远在德国柏林发生的一切,与十年前和当下对照,感慨万千。后记里提到大家每年都要聚会,一直保持联系,家人之间也成为朋友,不免想起兄弟连;他们因为职业或个头的原因都没有直接上战场,不过有人去了太平洋战场当军医,有人在波音公司参与B-17的制造。当他们1937年结束最后一场比赛的时候,大名鼎鼎的海饼干登上了历史的舞台。冥冥中自有天意。

评分

看完之后为这项运动和世纪前的8名运动员教练鼓掌????????????????????????????????
