W.J. Weatherby – Chariots Of Fire – First Edition 1982
£50.00
A first edition, first printing of the only edition published in 1982 and a film tie-in. A very good copy which is faded on the spine and with some browning to the pages. One neat name to the inside of the front cover.
“Chariots of Fire,” directed by Hugh Hudson and released in 1981, is a British sports drama film that tells the story of two athletes, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, competing in the 1924 Paris Olympics. The film explores their personal struggles, dedication, and contrasting motivations – Abrahams’ desire to overcome anti-Semitic prejudice and Liddell’s deep Christian faith. The movie highlights the themes of determination and the clash between religious conviction and the pursuit of glory. “Chariots of Fire” is known for its stirring Vangelis-scored soundtrack and won multiple awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, leaving a lasting impact on sports cinema. This, the film tie-in is rare.
