    it gets a good review in today's Irish Times and was going to drop into my local bookshop and pick it up. Listed as fiction but would seem to be biography of the life and times of Emil Zátopek.

    I would be interested to get feedback from anyone who has read ir.

    Thanks, HTH

    Would love to read this but it seems difficult enough to get your hands on it. What an fascinating character. There's a chapter dedicated to him in McDougall's Born to run. Will have to try and pick this up.

    local book shop told me the hard copy has just gone out of print so they would expect the softback to be available at some point in the future.

    Found it on amazon so will probably purchase from there, will report back after I read it.

    Thanks, HTH

    maybe you can get great story on Ian o' Riordan, Miles to Run - Promises to Keep.. it does great story about Emil Zatopek...

    the chaper called "human locomotive".. would said about 30-40 pages, possible more about him and his life story!

    really good book and story about great "human Locomotive" that what they called him!!!
