Correr by Jean Echenoz
A concise, wry fictionalized portrait of Emil Zátopek that follows his working‑class origins, obsessive and inventive training, and rise to become an Olympic champion; the narrative captures the physical rhythms of running, the eccentric, stubborn personality behind the legend, his partnership with a fellow athlete, and the quiet pressure of politics on a life devoted to speed and endurance.
