• Extra informatie: A tribute to the magnificent career of Haile Gebrselassie, the greatest long distance runner of all times. Twenty years of record-breaking victories, Olympic medals, world championships, and Haile is still running with a passion. Pride of Ethiopia and proud Ethiopian, the ultimate sportsman is a self-made business man, CEO of a multi-million dollar enterprise, benefactor, honored with awards and distinctions, but always considerate and unpretentious. An album of exclusive photos of Haile Gebrselassie, from his birthplace in an Ethiopian village to his mansion on the hill. Jiro Mochizuki, photographer, journalist, and connaisseur of track & field has followed Haile from his débuts, on the track and on the road, at home, in the office, training, competing, building, relaxing with family and friends. Haile in his own words tells the inside story of hard won victories and philosophically accepted losses. Elegantly designed and printed in Italy, Emperor of Long Distance is a unique portrait of an exceptional human being whose talent, determination, and warm smile radiate beyond the world of sports to reach a universal audience.
