Pressestimmen

This is my kind of history: carefully researched but so vivid that you are convinced Lucy Worsley was actually there at the party - or the parsonage. (Antonia Fraser)Jane Austen at Home offers a fascinating look at Jane Austen's world through the lens of the homes in which she lived and worked throughout her life. The result is a refreshingly unique perspective on Austen and her work and a beautifully nuanced exploration of gender, creativity, and domesticity. (Amanda Foreman)A vivid portrait of Jane Austen. A must for any Austenite. (Red magazine)Brilliant and very moving, this book is a fascinating and original exploration of Jane Austen with lots of new material - Worsley brings Austen to life superbly, through her pages she is a flesh and blood woman, intelligent, powerful, contradictory, loving, loved. A magnificent book. (Kate Williams)Rarely, if ever, will you encounter a historian so in command of their material. Truly, this is a dazzling exercise in persuasion, written with sense and sensibility. (Saturday Express)A deep, prolifically researched dive into the houses, vacation homes, and schools where the author spent her life. (Vogue magazine)Worsley offers us much that Austen's admirers wish to know... [she] is entirely convincing. (New York Times)An interesting portrait of Georgian and Regency material culture.

Tolles Buch, die Autorin erzählt über das Privatleben der berühmten Jane Austen, der literarischen Nationalheiligen der Briten. Nach unzähligen Biographien und vielen, vielen TV-Dokus kann man zwar fragen: Warum schon wieder eine Biographie. Aber diese hier ist wirklich anders: witzig, geschrieben, bürstet viele Geschichten, viele vermeintliche Wahrheiten gegen den Strich und stellte eine neue These auf: Jane Austen mag zwar gewusst haben, wie die upperclass gelebt hat, sie selbst jedoch wusste, wie hart Leben ohne großem Einkommen sein kann.Das Buch empfehle ich:- Lesern, die gerne flüssige Texte haben, die dennoch viel Tiefe bieten- Schülern die sich aufs Abi vorbereiten, wer dieses Buch lesen kann, schafft jede Klausur-allen, die sich für Frauenleben im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert interessierten- und, natürlich allen Jane Austen Fans!

Das Problem ist: Es ist nicht wirklich Neues in dieser Biographie zu finden. Hat man schon vieles über JAs Leben gelesen, so findet sich hier im Grunde nichts, was man noch nicht wusste oder erahnte.Das allerdings ist es nicht, was mich so kühl bewerten lässt - denn was soll es nach zweihundert Jahren noch an großen Entdeckungen geben können? Aber Lucy Worsley ist eine springlebendige Moderatorin, die mit spürbarer Begeisterung historische Shows im britischen Fernsehen präsentiert und ich hatte mir genau dieses überschäumende Temperament auch in ihrem Buch erhofft - das allerdings kommt selten zum Tragen; es bleibt doch eher trocken und - da es wie fast immer - mehr um Janes Familie geht als um sie selbst (einfach weil die Brüder mehr hinterlassen haben an privaten Aufzeichnungen), habe ich nach der Hälfte der Lektüre abgebrochen.Wer sich allerdings zum ersten Mal mit dem Leben der Schriftstellerin beschäftigt, dürfte zufrieden sein mit diesem Werk.

... and must-have and must-read for Janeites ... I love this author very much and her life was so interesting and her writing very magical and great ...

Must have for every Jane Austen fan! I can it recomend to everybody who love literature and history.

Normally, I do not really enjoy reading biographical books. But Jane Austen is one of my all time favorite authors, so I had read this book. I was very surprised because it was not just a spewing of facts but a very entertaining account of her home life. At times, this book is really funny and at other times it is heartbreaking.I would highly recommend this book to all book lovers especially to any Jane Austen enthusiast.

UPDATE: Read Byrne's "The Real Jane Austen" instead. While also prone to anti-Austenism, the analysis is more subtle and thorough and, frankly, more intelligent. In fact, the present book appears to be a "parroting" of Ms. Byrne's book and a poor copy at that.*****************************************************************************************************This is a mess of a book. Long-winded and self-important. The author has done substantial research on the era and, for better and more often for worse, cannot help herself from spewing everything she had found into her book - even at the expense of creating a cogent, progressive text.In example, when discussing the cause of Ms. Austen's death, the author mentions that several of the symptoms are similar to the symptoms now found in diagnosing Depression. She goes on to note that such emotional diseases were not recognized in 19th C. England and, so, many people (by the author's belief, mainly women) were misdiagnosed and often criticized for being hypochondriacs simply because society failed to recognize Depression.However, what does this actually have to do with Ms. Austen?Depression is not terminal and Ms. Austen's illness was terminal so the author knows that Depression would not have been an accurate diagnose, even if it existed in 19th C. England. In fact, the only reason Depression is discussed is because the author decided she wanted to show what she had found out during her research, even if it is not particularly relevant, so she simply latches on a few pages of discussion about Depression, thereby losing track of Jane Austen in a book reputedly devoted to Ms. Austen.And that is far from the worse example of the author using Ms. Austen's life to spout opinion rather than provide facts. The author notes that "Sensibility" was a fashionable movement in the late 1700s, a movement in which persons would affect a certain "depth of soul" by attempting to appear more refined by overly exaggerating their responses to emotional stimuli and, otherwise, go without eating to appear pale and, thereby, ethereal. By definition, it is a mannered way of acting and, so, falsely portrays the person's "true nature".Once again realizing this information may not particularly be relevant to Ms. Austen's life, the author decides that Marianne in "Sense and Sensibility" was a portrayal of such a person. She tries to convince the reader that this is so by alleging Marianne was a "passive" character and, so, prone to court other's opinion of herself as "sensitive" and argues that Marianne was clearly prone to other's opinion since she allows "others" to convince her into marrying Colonel Brandon.In short, she believes Marianne is portrayed living a mannered life in which she falsely portrays herself as having great "depth" that she truly does in fact possess.Anyone who has read "Sense and Sensibility" must question whether the author ever read the book given her understanding of Marianne. Marianne is defined as intelligent and as full of propriety as her sister, Elinor. Marianne is not pretending to feel more than she does in hopes that others will believe to be more refined and ethereal than she is. In fact, Marianne is the one character who acts rudely at times because she does not care how she is seen. Marianne would not be defined as have propriety if she were the "drama queen" as she is imagined by the author.In fact, she represents what a true sensitive, yet intelligent person would be. Each of us is both an individual and a part of society. Elinor places great value in being a good social partner, while Marianne places great value on being an individual. She believes that hiding emotions is lying, that is why she is a sincere character and, also, leads to the moral of the story because truly allowing her emotions to rule her life as the only "honest" way to live has led her to ignore her physical needs which weakened her so she became prone to a life-threatening illness. So, balance (sense) may appear as a compromise and, therefore, somehow false to a true sensitive, however, balance is shown to be more healthy and health is its own truth.Further, Marianne is decidedly not a "passive" character. She is principled (perhaps wrongly so) and head strong. Just remember her open disdain for Mrs. Ferrars when she slights Elinor's artwork. Marianne is not "passive", if anything, she is too "active" emotionally. And no one who reads the book could believe anyone forced Marianne into falling in love with Colonel Brandon. Given all of this, I can only assume the author watched a film version and has never actually read the book.Another albeit trivial example, the author argues that, despite Ms. Austen frequently being described as "pretty" by persons who actually knew her, the author believes she was a plain looking woman because she never describes anyone of her characters as "beautiful".Okay. First off, that is the most amateurish of pop pyschology.Second, an author trying to describe reality is never going to has an overly beautiful or handsome lead character since most of us are pleasantly attractive at best and not a paragon of good looks.Third, Ms. Austen's use of physical attractiveness is far more nuanced than the author seems to realize.Anne Elliott in "Persuasion" is described as once attractive tho now her "bloom" has gone. However, this is as much a temporal description as an accurate one. Once Anne is away from her unloving father and sister and around people she likes and, otherwise, is around a man she once loved and now realizes she still loves, she becomes decidedly beautiful.This can be the only interpretation of the scene at Lyme where Anne, her sister, and the younger "pretty" Musgrove sisters all pass a stranger. He politely nods to the "pretty" Musgroves and to the sister, Mary, but stares dumbfoundedly at Anne. He is clearly a man entranced by her looks. So, Anne in the glow of happiness is a beautiful creature to behold!Similarly, Emma Woodhouse may be defined as "handsome"; however, she is clearly also "beautiful". Her sister is described as "pretty" and Emma is stated to be better looking. Her friend, Harriet Smith, is continually said to be "very pretty" yet never is there a doubt that Emma is the better looking of the two. Finally, Mr. Knightley, a man given to stating his beliefs honestly and without flattery, when asked by Mrs. Weston whether or not Emma is attractive, states that he could spend 10 or 15 minutes simply looking at Emma while she talks and later comments on Emma's lack of conceit about her looks though most others would take excessive pride in being so attractive. So, while Emma is not stated to be "beautiful" by Ms. Austen, she decidedly is very beautiful.The author's book is often described as written in a "lively" manner. However, any "liveliness" it possesses tends to arise from the author manufacturing a controversy.Ms. Austen's eldest brother started a subscription magazine while at college. In one edition, a "Sophia Sentimental" writes a letter to the editor silly complaining of the lack of good sob stories. The author decides without any other evidence than a "female" writer and the sarcastic tone, that this letter was written by Jane Austen. Problem is, Jane Austen was only twelve years old at the time and the letter shows more sophistication that her Juvenalia of that period. Solution, the author simply decides it was written by Jane but family members helped. All speculation - yet, the author has no problem later in the book stating "factually" that 'Sophia Sentimental' was Ms. Austen.The author notes that some critics claim Ms. Austen's books are lesser because they failed to address the actual world but use realistic techniques to present a fantasy world. In example, the Napleonic Wars were fought throughout Ms. Austen's life, yet only incidental effects (e.g. the milita in P&P) are found in her novels.The author bolds states that, unlike the past 200 years of assessment in which no analysis of the Wars or other social issues were found, she has "discovered" Ms. Austen's social commentary, particular in "Mansfield Park".It happens that 'Mansfield' is the name of a judge whose rulings harmed the slave trade and 'Norris' was the name of a famous slave trader so Ms. Austen's use of these names in the book may (or may not) be purposeful and, so, a "commentary" on the slave trade.But how?!? Ms. Austen did not write overly symbolic books and, otherwise, it is impossible to read "Mansfield Park" as a symbolic treatise on slavery. So, all the writer is arguing is that Ms. Austen may have used names associated with slavery in naming characters and places in "Mansfield Park". However, since the book is not about slavery per se, it is not a commentary on slavery as the author claims she has discovered.The author, however, is undaunted. She notes a passing reference in MP to a servant having to mend a hedgerow.You ask, so what? Well, the author spends an endless amount of time explaining that pre-War, landholders often let their neighbors pasture their cattle on the holder's land. However, during the War, wheat prices rose an, so, often landholders inclosed (as opposed to "enclosed", a distinct legal act according to the author) their fields to prevent their neighbors' use of that land so they could plant it with wheat. Often, in inclosing the land, the holder placed a hedgerow as a border fence.So, the author argues that in making a passing reference to mending of a hedgerow, Ms. Austin may (or may not) have intended her audience to realize that Mansfield Park was inclosed.Even assuming Ms. Austen meant her audience to assume inclosure, so what?!? How is the passing reference to mending a hedgerow (implying inclosure) a social commentary on the War. It is, as with all of Ms. Austen's fact, just an observation without symbolic weight.So, once again, the author is making self-important claims of new discovery which is not remotely backed up with any fact.Perhaps her worst use of this practice is her attempt to "prove" Ms. Austen was somehow morally betrayed by her male relatives. The author repeatedly implies the men of the Austen family set out to "control" Jane Austen in life and, thereafter, to control her "image" after her death. This is a bit far-fetched and a bit pathetic on the author's behalf.The author does not dispute that those men directly encouraged Ms. Austen and, otherwise, sought out publishers for her work; however, she claims they arrogantly stated they were the main force in promoting her literary career and, thereby, tried to subsume this female achievement as an achievement of the male line.In support of this strained argument, the author notes that Ms. Austen had a lively cousin, Eliza, and a worldly neighbor, Mrs. Lefroy, who possibly, by example, led her to believe that there was more to life for a woman than being a spinster.Now, if the Austen men had stated they "inspired" Ms. Austen into having a literary career, the author's argument might make sense; however, the Austen men only took credit for encouraging Ms. Austen to continue writing and, otherwise, in taking steps to help her achieve her ambition of publishing her work.Whether Eliza or Mrs. Lefoy inspired Ms. Austen is debatable since there is no evidence either way. However, neither Eliza nor Mrs. Lefoy ever encouraged Ms. Austen to write, let alone took steps to help her achieve publication. At best, they indirectly inspired her to believe her writing was good enough, to believe that women could publish. (However, this assumes Ms. Austen ever doubted this, which is unlikely given that a substantial number of novelist in her day were women.)In other words, the author manufactures a "controversy" by claiming the Austen men tried to exclude women who "inspired" Ms. Austen so they could take complete "credit" for Ms. Austen's success. However, since the Austen men never claimed to "inspire" but only to "promote" and none of the women discussed by the author either encouraged or promoted Ms. Austen's career; the controversy is non-existent.This dislike of the Austen men and the false claim that they somehow are "controlling" of Ms. Austen and, after her death, of her legacy is woven throughout the book. And so, by the end, the author has so convinced herself of this "conspiracy" that she becomes ridiculous.The Austen placed the following epitaph on Jane Austen's gravestone:the benevolence of her heart / the sweetness of her temper / the extraordinary endowments of her mind.Sweet, simple and proportional. Valuing the wonderful person she was and also acknowledging that, beyond such personal charm, she was extraordinary and brilliant.The author will have none of this. To her, by putting the impersonal fact that Ms. Austen was a genius after the personal fact that she was loving and kind, the Austen men's "cover-up of how extraordinary Aunt Jane really was had already begun".I frankly cannot fathom how someone can read that loving epitaph and immediately decide that Ms. Austen's brothers were undermining her legacy by listing her literary genius as only her third best characteristic after being loving and kind.Apparently, the author believes her brothers should have foreseen at her death that Jane Austen over the next 150 years would become the most read English novelist and, having so foreseen, the brothers were morally obligated to ignore their personal loss and require to prioritize future society loss, Ms. Austen's genius. By failing to do so, the Austen men showed they were 'covering up' their loved one's genius and, so, acting for their own "benefit".And having noted that the Austen family "controlled" Ms. Austen's image and "falsely" portrayed her as "perfection", the author notes that Ms. Austen's niece had criticized her by stating, though Jane and Cassandra were exceptionally intelligent and kind, they were not "elegant" for high society and, so, Fanny believed they learned their elegance from their time spent with her father, Edward, who through a luck break was an owner of two massive estates and so a member of high society.You would think the author would applaud any member of the Austen clan being critical of Jane Austen, though this criticism is fairly tame as Fanny acknowledge her aunt was brilliant and refined but simply not use to the required elegance of high society. But no, the author bemoans how Fanny had "betrayed" her aunts by stating her opinion.A good historian would simply present the facts and let her reader decide what they meant. Not this author, she cannot help spewing her opinions - even when they are contradictory to her general theme that the Austen "sugar-coated" Jane's personality.So by the end, the book is foolishness compounded by foolishness. Yes, the book has some interesting things to say and note; however, the author cannot stay out of her own way and her opinions, often unfounded, and attitude, too often snide and superior, often making this a tedious and, at times, depressing book to read.

I've read a few Jane Austen biographies over the years, and this one quickly became my favorite. I read it in just a few short days and definitely recommend it to others interested in Jane Austen's life or in the lives of Georgian- and Regency-era women.At first glance, the organization of the book by the homes that Austen lived in seems a bit contrived — it's basically just chronological order by another name, right? — but it's a contrivance that I 100 percent buy into. Home, and the precarious living situation of women, is a theme in Austen's work that always stands out to me, so the closer look at her own precious and precarious home life provides a meaningful framework here.The details of Austen's life aren't particularly accessible, but the author's writing style is, and the research seems solid (and owes much to previous biographers, which is acknowledged). I'm not familiar with the author's other books or television work, but I've seen her writing style criticized, for this book in particular, as being a bit "breathless" (overly enthusiastic and star-struck). I thought it was fine. It's chummy and appreciative, but not fawning and overly eager. There is a bit more speculation than I need (I don't care to guess whether infant Jane Austen was swaddled or not) and some of the wide brushstrokes used to paint a scene for which little relevant information remains are sometimes too obvious and distracting. And I would have appreciated a family tree to reference, since the extended Austen family is somewhat sprawling and it's easy to lose track of the friends and family that are mentioned throughout.Those are minor complaints, however, for a book that I enjoyed and certainly recommend.

Worsley is best known for her work on Henry VIII's wives on television - something she did very well, if slightly twee. This book is a very different take on the life of Jane Austen, and it is excellent. I've read numerous bios on this author (I'm a fan) and this is probably the most accessible one I've come across. Lucy is an excellent scholar, and her investigation on the huge number of items (books, letters, memoirs, etc. etc. etc.) dealing with Jane Austen is almost inexhaustible, and it shows. The pictures are useful and well done. My only issue is she did not address the painting of an author that certainly looks like Jane Austen found by Paula Byrnes and shown in 'The Real Jane Austen: A life in small things" (which is also highly recommended). Really, if you love Jane Austen, read this book.

What would it be like to be invited into Jane Austen's sitting room and ask her anything? Since we can't time-travel to wangle that invitation and find out, Lucy Worsley gives us the next best thing, taking us into Jane Austen's intimate home life, showing how what happened there influenced her six treasured novels. Worsley is that unusual historian - witty, passionate, irreverent and always good company. I always grab whatever she writes and settle down for a really good read as she gives us a fresh take on what we already knew [as the life and times of Austen have already been deeply and thoroughly mined] and even comes up with a few nuggets and intriguing insights not already well known by the legions of readers smitten by Jane Austen and her Georgian world. A delightful book - thank you Lucy!

Mal ehrlich, wer tut sich sowas an? Es ist schon klasse, wenn man die Motivation von so einem Menschen zu verstehen beginnt, auch wenn man sich das nie selbst antuen würde. Sollte sich jeder mal durchlesen, der das Laufen vor allem auch als Lauf zu sich selbst sieht und seine persönlichen Grenzen (die auch deutlich niedriger liegen dürfen) ausloten will. Tolles Buch!Ich habe das Buch Ende 2008 gelesen und bin dann unverhoffterweise mit Familie beruflich nach Marin County gezogen, so daß ich viele Spots aus dem Buch auch live gesehen habe (insbesondere das Great Western....).

First off, this book is about Dean's personal experiences as ultra runner, not about a step-by-step guide to ultra running. It's full of personal anecdotes and stories but makes you want to instantly put your running shoes on and hit the road. Also, you get some hints throughout the book about the required logistics behind running ultras in addition to basic but important nutritional advice at the end. Highly recommended!

Das Buch ist nicht eine der üblichen "Sportbiografien", sondern es ist im wesentlichen ein Einblick in die Seele und die Gedanken von Dean. Man liest, was er denkt und fühlt und als er im Death Valley das schlechte Wasser getrunken hat, da wurde auch mir schlecht. An einem Wochenende habe ich das Buch verschlungen, dann bin ich die nächste Woche jeden Tag laufen gegangen .-)Gut ist auch, dass er schildert, wie er sich entwickelt hat, was er isst, wie er trainiert, etc. Auch wenn diese Angaben unglaubwürdig klingen (wie kann man über Wochen mit nur 4 Stunden Schlaf solche Leistungen bringen?).

Loved every page of it. It has been my first book about running but I must say I'm really surprised about how Dean wrote and about all the inspiration I got from it.

Dean Karnazes is a unique athlete and this book gives the reader the idea of how much. More than that, it works well in transmitting his passion for running, even if for parts of it feels too much like one of the self-help manifestos. Overall, it's light reading with a good intention. And it has some funny stories too.

Dieser Mann hört nie auf, mich zum Staunen zu bringen. Schon krass was er gemachthat und immer noch macht.. Man sollte aber schon das Laufen mögen.

very good book if you like running especially trail and endurance running. one star less because of too long running event experience descriptions. all in all, i would recommend this book to any Enthusiastic runner.

Per Definition ist ein Ultramarathon praktisch jede Streckenlänge, die über die Marathondistanz von 42,195 km hinaus geht. Das können 50 km sein, meist 100 km, aber auch 150 km oder sogar noch mehr. Kann ein normaler Mensch so was überhaupt laufen/schaffen? Die Frage des Machbaren stellt sich vielen bereits ab einer Strecke von 10 km, spätestens aber angesichts einer Marathondistanz. Und dann noch darüber hinaus?Und wer ist Dean Karnazes? In der Schule war Dean (geb. 1962) ein recht passabler Läufer, der sich bereits zum Spaß zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad an längere Distanzen wagte. Gegen Ende seiner Schulzeit lief er erfolgreich fürs Schulteam. Da er sich aber nicht mit dem Trainer verstand, hörte er einfach mit dem Laufen auf. Ganze 15 Jahre lang. Ein Vorfall in einem Restaurant an seinem 30. Geburtstag brachte ihn dazu seine ausgelatschten Laufschuhe wieder rauszukramen und einfach in die Nacht hinein loszulaufen. Erst rund 48 km später hielt er endlich wieder an.Von da an war Dean dem Laufvirus verfallen und er stellt sich seit dem immer wieder neuen, verrückten und unmenschlich erscheinenden Herausforderungen - anfangs zudem noch denkbar schlecht vorbereitet.Zu seinem Erreichtem zählen unter anderen:-> Mehrfacher Finisher vom Western States 100 Meilen Lauf (ca. 160 km) in den Bergen der Sierra Nevada.-> Gewinner des Badwater Ultramarathons, einem 135 Meilen Lauf (ca. 217 km) durchs Death Valley Kalifornien (im Juli bei ca. 49 Grad im Schatten - wenn es denn welchen gäbe).-> Er lief The Relay (Staffellauf) von Calistoga nach Santa Cruz über 199 Meilen (ca. 320 km) ganz allein - statt im Team von 12 Läufern.-> Über Nacht lief er 100 Meilen (ca. 160 km) in 18 Stunden von seiner Haustür in San Francisco bis zur Startlinie eines Marathons in Napa Valley, um dort 5 Minuten später noch den Marathon in 3 Std 15 Min mitzulaufen!!!-> Der erste Mensch, der eine volle Marathondistanz am Südpol lief (2002) - in Laufschuhen wohlgemerkt, nicht in Schneeschuhen.-> 2006 lief Dean 50 Marathondistanzen in 50 aufeinander folgenden Tagen.Erstaunlich daran ist zudem, dass Dean kein Eremit mit unendlich viel Freizeit ist, sondern er hat einen Universitätsabschluss, eine berufliche Karriere in Top 500 Unternehmen sowie Frau und 2 Kinder.Wen die Aufzählung der Leistungen (noch) nicht beeindruckt, dem sei gesagt, dass das Buch eben genau keine dröge Aneinanderreihung von Erfolgen oder reine Selbstbeweihräucherung ist. Vielmehr nimmt Dean den Leser mit auf eine höchst unterhaltsame Reise durch die Nacht, durchs Land und durchs Gelände. Hier kommt es nicht zu einer Anpreisung von heroischen Leistungen, sondern es ist ein Buch über Selbsterfahrung und die Grenzen des Machbaren. Es ist keine jammernde Erzählweise, sondern vielmehr eine realistische, bei der nichts beschönigt und verharmlost wird - alle Übel solcher läuferischen Extremunterfangen werden dazu genannt. Dabei sind Blasen, Dehydrierung und Muskelkater noch die bei weitem harmlosesten Auswirkungen. Und als Leser erfährt man von Unwägbarkeiten, auf die man alleine wohl nie gekommen wäre.Klar, dass dem Leser und insb. erfahrenen Läufern auch das eine oder andere sonderbar vorkommen muss. So würden bspw. Deans Essgewohnheiten von Pizza und Kaffe beim (!) Laufen bei den meisten wohl zu Magenkrämpfen und Erbrechen führen. Und bei nur 4 Stunden Schlaf pro Nacht müsste man bei der körperlichen Leistung eigentlich am Stock gehen.Das ständige Erwähnen der verstorbenen Schwester als Inspiration niemals aufzugeben etc. ist zwar höchst ehrenwert, wird aber doch irgendwann unglaubwürdig und wirkt auf Dauer auch etwas zu kitschig.Fazit:Das Buch ist so fesselnd und flüssig geschrieben, dass ich es praktisch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen konnte. Ungläubiges Staunen wechselte sich ständig mit Schmunzeln und trockener Kehle ab (Anspannung und auch Mitleiden). Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass mir jemand die Erfahrung eines Ultralaufs so nahe bringen könnte. Das Buch inspiriert mich zwar nicht zur Nachahmung, aber jetzt verstehe ich [trotz eigener Marathonerfahrung] wenigstens was bei einer Ultradistanz noch alles auf einen zukommt. Nach Lektüre des Buchs kann niemand mehr behaupten, er hätte nicht gewusst, worauf er sich dabei einlässt.Ob es irgendwie sinnvoll ist, solche grenzwertigen Läufe überhaupt zu machen, muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Aber über diesen Sinn und Unsinn urteilt der Autor auch gar nicht - er bringt einem nur seine Erfahrungen näher.Sehr empfehlenswerter Lesestoff - auch für absolute Nichtläufer!!!PSIch habe das Buch im englischen Original gelesen, was sehr leicht war. Ob der Schreibstil in der deutschen Übersetzung ebenso gut rüber kommt? Am besten gleich zur englischen Ausgabe greifen!
