«Correr» is the biographical and sports novel by Jean Echenoz, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Emil Zátopek, the Czechoslovak runner who went from being a laughing stock at the 1946 Inter-Allied Games in Berlin to becoming an Olympic legend. Echenoz portrays his sporting rise and the pressure of the communist regime, which spies on him, restricts his travel and eventually exiles him to the uranium mines for supporting Dubček.
It belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 759), with a translation by Javier Albiñana; the original title is «Courir».
A read for those interested in biographical and sports fiction, stories of resistance and twentieth-century Europe.
