Paperback. Before he became a cinematic swan song for Robert Redford, Bernard Malamud’s Roy Hobbs was already striking out at the intersection of American mythology and athletic hubris. This classic diamond drama follows a phenom whose promising past was derailed by a youthful indiscretion, only for him to make a stunning, late-life comeback. Yet even as he steps up to the plate again, he finds himself still swinging for the fences against the very temptations that threaten to bring him to ruin. It is less a sports story and more a sharply pitched American tragedy about the heavy price of second chances. Step up to the plate and see if our hero can outrun his own legacy, or if he'll ultimately strike out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zambezi Joy Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006538555641,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/7028\/9309\/files\/front-guided_43e3ce04-e9c8-46c5-b9c0-f468f9c256cd.jpg?v=1788444028"},{"product_id":"the-climb-by-anatoli-boukreev-and-g-weston-dewalt","title":"The Climb by Anatoli Boukreev and G.

Paperback. Long before a sub-four-minute mile was common track-meet trivia, the feat was widely deemed physiologically impossible, a mythical barrier akin to scaling Everest without oxygen.
