From Booklist
From the depths of Mexico’s Copper Canyon to the heights of theLeadville Trail 100 ultramarathon in Colorado, from thecenturies-old running techniques of Mexico’s Tarahumara tribe to aresearch lab at the University of Utah, author McDougallcelebrates, in this engaging and picaresque account, humankind’sinnate love of running. There are rogues aplenty here, such thedeadly narco-traffickers who roam Copper Canyon, but there are manymore who inspire, such as the Tarahumara runners, who show the restof the world the false limitations we place on human endurance.McDougall has served as an Associated Press war correspondent, is acontributing editor to Men’s Health, and runs at his home in ruralPennsylvania, and he brings all of these experiences to bear inthis slyly important, highly readable account.

內容簡介

An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

精彩書評

"A journalist's adventures in a secluded Mexican community of the best endurance athletes in the world. On an unrelated assignment, Men's Health contributing editor McDougall (Girl Trouble: The True Saga of Superstar Gloria Trevi, Her Svengali, and the Secret Teenage Sex Cult that Stunned the World, 2004) uncovered the legend of the Tarahumara Indians, a tribe of astonishingly fit runners concealed deep within the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Determined to learn their secrets, McDougall braved uncharted territory and encounters with lethal drug-smugglers in search of Caballo Blanco, one of the only outsiders to befriend the bashful natives. The colorful Caballo recounts an enthralling story involving the arduous Leadville ultra marathon and Rick Fisher, a greedy, hotheaded opportunist who bribed the Tarahumara out of hiding to compete. The exploited tribesmen participated in the grueling event three times before they disappeared back to their villages for good. An inspired Caballo followed the Tarahumara back to Mexico, where he ran the local trails and lived peacefully in isolation. His dream was to draw the top American contenders to this remote locale to lock horns with the clan in the ultimate endurance exhibition, and he wanted McDougall's help to make it happen. The author returned to the Copper Canyons with a handful of prominent distance champions, including Scott Jurek and Jenn Shelton, and the story culminates in a final 50-mile showdown. McDougall's background as a magazine writer is readily apparent-his prose is light and airy, informative without being pretentious. Most passages are short and engaging with extra doses of drama and exclamatory phrases thrown in to great effect.McDougall wisely grounds the narrative in his own struggle to engage in the concluding race-he was frustrated with his tendency to get injured-and he offers insightful sidebars on a variety of topics, from the development of the modern running shoe to an evolutionary argument that humans are literally "born to run."A terrific ride, recommended for any athlete. First printing of 75,000. Author tour to Boston, Boulder, Colo., Denver, New York, Portland, Ore., Salt Lake City, San Francisco."

,.,--.,-,--,,,-.,,.，，。非常好的一本書，京東配送也不錯!讀書是一種提升自我的藝術。玉不琢不成器，人不學不知道。讀書是一種學習的過程。一本書有一個故事，一個故事敘述一段人生，一段人生摺射一個世界。讀萬捲書，行萬裏路說的正是這個道理。讀詩使人高雅，讀史使人明智。讀每一本書都會有不同的收獲。懸梁刺股、螢窗映雪，自古以來，勤奮讀書，提升自我是每一個人的畢生追求。讀書是一種最優雅的素質，能塑造人的精神，升華人的思想。讀書是一種充實人生的藝術。沒有書的人生就像空心的竹子一樣，空洞無物。書本是人生最大的財富。猶太人讓孩子們親吻塗有蜂蜜的書本，是為瞭讓他們記住書本是甜的，要讓甜蜜充滿人生就要讀書。讀書是一本人生最難得的存摺，一點一滴地積纍，你會發現自己是世界上最富有的人。讀書是一種感悟人生的藝術。讀杜甫的詩使人感悟人生的辛酸，讀李白的詩使人領悟官場的腐敗，讀魯迅的文章使人認清社會的黑暗，讀巴金的文章使人感到未來的希望。每一本書都是一個朋友，教會我們如何去看待人生。讀書是人生的一門最不缺少的功課，閱讀書籍，感悟人生，助我們走好人生的每一步。書是燈，讀書照亮瞭前麵的路書是橋，讀書接通瞭彼此的岸書是帆，讀書推動瞭人生的船。讀書是一門人生的藝術，因為讀書，人生纔更精彩！讀書，是好事讀大量的書，更值得稱贊。讀書是一種享受生活的藝術。五柳先生好讀書，不求甚解，每有會意，便欣然忘食。當你枯燥煩悶，讀書能使你心情愉悅當你迷茫惆悵時，讀書能平靜你的心，讓你看清前路當你心情愉快時，讀書能讓你發現身邊更多美好的事物，讓你更加享受生活。讀書是一種最美麗的享受。書中自有黃金屋，書中自有顔如玉。一位叫亞剋敦的英國人，他的書齋裏雜亂的堆滿瞭各科各類的圖書，而且每本書上都有著手跡。讀到這裏是不是有一種敬佩之意油然而升。因為有瞭書，就象鳥兒有瞭翅膀嗎！然而，我們很容易忽略的是有好書並不一定能讀好書。正如這位亞剋敦，雖然他零零碎碎地記住瞭不少知識，可當人傢問他時，他總是七拉八扯說不清楚。這裏的原因隻有一個，那就是他不善長於讀書，而隻會依葫蘆畫瓢。硃熹說過讀書之法，在循序漸進，熟讀而精思。所謂循序漸進，就是學習、工作等按照一定的步驟諑漸深入或提高。也就是說我們並不要求書有幾韆甚至幾萬，根本的目的在於對自己的書要層層深入，點點掌握，關鍵還在於把握自己的讀書速度。至於熟讀，顧名思義，就是要把自己看過的書在看，在看，看的滾瓜爛熟
