Widely regarded as one of the greatest ever sportspeople, Roger Federer is a global phenomenon. From his humble beginnings as a temperamental teenager to becoming symbol of enduring greatness, 'The Master' is the definitive biography of a global icon who is both beloved and yet intensely private. Federer earned more endorsements in 2020 than any other athlete in the world ($106.3 million).

Ten-year-old Maria, an orphaned heiress living with her unpleasant guardians on a crumbling English estate called Malplaquet, finds her life changing in unimagined ways when she explores an overgrown island on the estate's lake and discovers the descendants of Gulliver's Lilliputians.

The "last" chapter of The once and Future King," which tells how Arthur, Guenever, and Lancelot come to their ends.

The late author of The Once and Future King, sire of Camelot, came to the United States on a lecture tour shortly before his death. Accompanied by an eighteen-year-old chaperone-guide, affectionately obeyed and respected, he flew about the nation addressing school, university, civic groups (he very seldom alludes to the contents of his recitations.) He found Manhattan ""a small city in the horizontal... only enormous vertically,"" New Orleans ""the greatest town in America for gourmets,"" loved San Francisco, was awed with Utah--""out of the brain of Brigham Young."" America was indeed a foreign land--where everything over twenty-five years old seemed to count as an antique, where, ""in Long Island, fishermen can buy live worms from slot machines!"" Yet the discovery here is more on the part of the author than the American reader, who finds himself in the company of a pleasant gentleman with no major insights to impart. If one wishes a memento of the author, here it is, along with a fond remembrance that gives a perspective on his personality. --From Kirkus Reviews.

A narrative of the author's adventures in western Ireland.

T. H. White's modern classic about King Arthur. This particular edition may have been published in Russia, but it is in fact written in English. I just finished reading this edition on the Open Library. I wonder why it is described as being written in Russian?

The book attached to this record is Britain and its dominions by W R Brock

"Este libro presenta un acercamiento al "proceso de cambio" que tuvo lugar en Bolivia (2006-2019) desde las políticas deportivas implementadas por el gobierno de Evo Morales, a partir de la siguientes preguntas generadoras: ¿Qué lugar ocupa el deporte en el mundo indígena boliviano? ¿Cómo fue incorporado el deporte en el "proceso de cambio" que implementó el gobierno de Evo Morales? ¿Cuál fue la participación desplegada por el presidente Evo Morales en el campo deportivo? ¿Cuáles han sido los alcances, logros y limitaciones de esas acciones presidenciales y políticas gubernamentales en el proceso de descolonización? Partiendo de una aproximación histórica al lugar del deporte en las comunidades y movimientos indígenas, se revisa la trayectoria deportiva de Evo Morales, así como las políticas que su gobierno implementó en el campo deportivo, para concluir con una reflexión sobre su impacto en el "proceso de cambio" y, en particular, en la dimensión descolonizadora del mismo. El libro es prologado por Luis H. Antezana"--publisher's website.

The second book in his epic work, The Once and Future King. It continues the story of the newly-crowned King Arthur, his tutelage by the wise Merlyn, his war against King Lot, and also introduces the Orkney clan, a group of characters who would cause the eventual downfall of the king.

White taught at Stowe School, Buckinghamshire, for four years. In 1936 he published England Have My Bones, a well-received memoir about a year spent in England. The same year, he left Stowe and lived in a workman's cottage, where he wrote and "revert[ed] to a feral state", engaging in falconry, hunting, and fishing.
