Название: The Secret to Superhuman Strength
Автор: Alison Bechdel
Издательство: ‎‎ Mariner Books
Год: 2021
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 68 Мб
Язык: английский / English

Comics and cultural superstar Alison Bechdel delivers a deeply layered story of her fascination, from childhood to adulthood, with every fitness craze to come down the pike: from Jack LaLanne in the 60s ("Outlandish jumpsuit! Cantaloupe-sized guns!") to the existential oddness of present-day spin class. Readers will see their athletic or semi-active pasts flash before their eyes through an ever-evolving panoply of running shoes, bicycles, skis, and sundry other gear. But the more Bechdel tries to improve herself, the more her self appears to be the thing in her way. She turns for enlightenment to Eastern philosophers and literary figures, including Beat writer Jack Kerouac, whose search for self-transcendence in the great outdoors appears in moving conversation with the author’s own. This gifted artist and not-getting-any-younger exerciser comes to a soulful conclusion. The secret to superhuman strength lies not in six-pack abs, but in something much less clearly defined: facing her own non-transcendent but all-important interdependence with others.

Название: Arctic Labyrinth: The Quest for the Northwest Passage
Автор: Glyn Williams, Sophia Costley
Издательство: ‎University of California Press
Год: 2010
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 58 Мб
Язык: английский / English

The elusive dream of locating the Northwest Passage―an ocean route over the top of North America that promised a shortcut to the fabulous wealth of Asia―obsessed explorers for centuries. While global warming has brought several such routes into existence, until recently these channels were hopelessly choked by impassible ice. Voyagers faced unimaginable horrors―entire ships crushed, mass starvation, disabling frostbite, even cannibalism―in pursuit of a futile goal. In Arctic Labyrinth, Glyn Williams charts the entire sweep of this extraordinary history, from the tiny, woefully equipped vessels of the first Tudor expeditions to the twentieth-century ventures that finally opened the Passage. Williams’s thrilling narrative delves into private letters and journals to expose the gritty reality behind the often self-serving accounts of those in charge. An important work of maritime history and exploration―and as exciting a tale of heroism and fortitude as readers will find―Arctic Labyrinth is also a remarkable study in human delusion.
