Vinto dalle onde, di W.H.G. Kingston.

This is a splendid book, one of Kingston's very best, written and published at the very end of his life, and it will give you a very good read.

Questo è un libro splendido, uno dei migliori di Kingston, scritto e pubblicato proprio alla fine della sua vita, e vi offrirà una lettura molto piacevole.

Of course there are the usual swimming exercises, but there is just so much more going on, that you will always be wanting to turn the next page to see what happens.

Naturalmente ci sono i soliti esercizi di nuoto, ma accade così tanto altro che vorrete sempre girare la pagina successiva per vedere cosa succede.
