Stroke of genius by Gideon Haigh (.ePub)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 8.4 MB
Overview: If Trumper is a legend, George Beldam’s ‘Jumping Out’ has become an icon.
But that image has almost paradoxically obscured the story of its subject. Man and photograph have entranced Gideon Haigh since childhood, and in Stroke of Genius he explores both the real Victor Trumper and the process of his iconography. Together they inspired a profound moral and aesthetic revaluation of the game, and changed the way we think about cricket, art and Australia. In this inventive, fresh and compelling work of history, Haigh reveals how Trumper, and Beldam’s incarnation of his brilliance, are at the intersection of sport and art, history and timelessness, reality and myth.
