Spiridon Superstar tells the story of Spiridon Louis, the Greek athlete who became a national hero by winning the marathon at the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. With an agile and well-researched narrative style, Philippe Jaenada reconstructs the life of this humble farmer from Maroussi, offering a fascinating look at the historical and social context of late 19th-century Greece. This work combines the rigor of journalism with the fluidity of literature, exploring not only the sporting feat but also the humanity behind the myth.
