Bøger af Thomas Dekker

Som ung er Thomas Dekker en fremragende cykelrytter med en selvtillid og arrogance, der til fulde matcher hans talent. Men den skrøbelige facade krakelerer, da drømmen om at blive en af verdens bedste cykelryttere forsvinder. I en farlig cocktail af doping, druk og damer kører han sig selv helt i sænk. Thomas Dekker tager læseren med hele vejen; vi er med, når det spidser til i de barske cykelløb; når rytterne fester igennem på bordel; når dopinglægen Fuentes lægger drop i armen på ham; når dopingjægerne indleder jagten på ham; og når det hele styrter sammen. ”En fin guide til, hvordan man smadrer en lovende karriere” - road.cc ”Overgår Tyler Hamiltons bog som den mest rystende beskrivelse af doping i cykelsporten” - Cyclist.co.uk ”Skåner hverken kolleger eller arbejdsgivere” - The Inner Ring ”Har noget, man sjældent oplever i cykelbiografier – sårbarhed” - Cycling Tips ”Umulig at lægge fra sig” - Sports Book of the Month ”Brutalt ærlig” - Cycling News ”Han er et røvhul, og han ved det” - Singletrack Magazine

Thomas Dekker was a playwright, pamphleteer and poet who, perhaps, deserves greater recognition than he has so far gained. Despite the fact only perhaps twenty of his plays were published, and fewer still survive, he was far more prolific than that. Born around 1572 his peak years were the mid 1590's to the 1620's - seven of which he spent in a debtor's prison. His works span the late Elizabethan and Caroline eras and his numerous collaborations with Ford, Middleton, Webster and Jonson say much about his work. His pamphlets detail much of the life in these times, times of great change, of plague and of course that great capital city London a swirling mass of people, power, intrigue.
