"As one family's appreciation for athletic competition is passed through generations, the Olympics become a good place to find a teammate for life. In 1896, at the first modern games in Athens, Henri and Sophia face a battle of prejudices. Will they cross the finish line together? Dameon hopes the 1932 winter games in Lake Placid, New York, will earn him financial gold, but could his real prize be in new friendships? Bonnie is running in the 1960 summer games of Rome, while Preston's dreams of racing have been dashed. Can they still be winners in love? Calgary, site of the 1988 Winter Olympics, is a place for realizing dreams. Can Brian and Sophie unite their aspirations to reach for an even greater prize? When shared interests are not enough to sustain love, will faith step in to raise the flag of victory?' Book

br. Tra i monumenti letterari che attestano la fase più antica del fortunato mito medievale di Tristano e Isotta si colloca il breve testo antico-francese in octosyllabes della "Folie Tristan", tramandato in due diverse redazioni risalenti al xii secolo: una più corta, detta di Berna (che qui si presenta), l'altra più lunga, detta di Oxford. Travestito da folle, Tristano torna alla corte di re Marco per rivedere l'amata Isotta. Da lei tenta di farsi riconoscere, rievocando con un discorso apparentemente insensato gli episodi salienti della loro storia. La regina - dapprima diffidente - finirà per cedere, e dopo l'agnizione finale gli amanti riusciranno a ricongiungersi per un'ultima breve stagione. Ennesima maschera tristaniana, la simulazione della follia permette la messa in atto di un geniale dispositivo della "ricordanza", che restituisce nella miniatura di un breve poemetto le vicende più note degli amanti di Cornovaglia.
