Download Alone: The Triumph and Tragedy of John Curry AudioBook Free
One winter's nights in 1976, over 20 million people in Britain viewed John Curry skate to Olympic glory with an snow rink in Austria. Many thousands and thousands more watched round the world. Instantaneously he became one of the most famous men on the planet. He was honored the OBE. He was chosen as BBC Activities Personality of the entire year. Curry had altered snow skating from marginal sport to high art. And yet the man was - and would always stay - a complete mystery to a global that were dazzled by his product. Surely, men's skating was said to be Cossack-muscular, not sensual and ambiguous such as this. Curry himself was an often-tortured man of labyrinthine complexity. For the very first time, By themselves untangles the outstanding web of his dangerous, troubled, fantastic - and brief - life. It really is a tale of child years nightmares, furious ambition, sports genius, lifelong rivalries, homophobia, Cool Conflict politics, financial wreck and deep personal tragedy. By themselves unveils the restless, impatient, often dark spirit of a man whose words could lacerate, whose skating invariably shifted people to tears, and who - after succumbing to AIDS, as so a lot of his fellow musicians and artists and friends do - died of your coronary attack aged just 44.
