This book is a memoir which has taken the form of a young runaway boy’s tale of being lost and found. Narayanasamy Srinivasan, the author and the protagonist of this story, recollects his escapade from fifty years ago as a 12-year-old boy who eloped from his village and embarked on an adventure to the city, which then became a story worth passing on across generations. The story in itself has multiple twists and makes us realize that the truth is stranger than fiction. The author paints a vivid image of what it meant to be in Tamil Nadu (India) in the 1960s, its culture, traditions, history, cinema and politics. To those who can relate to the period, be prepared to be taken back in time and drenched in nostalgia. And the rest of you, prepare to get introduced to the magic of the 60s.

You might run for fitness. You might run for speed. But ultimately, running is about much more than the physical act itself. It is about the challenges we face in life, and how we measure up to them. It is about companionship, endurance, ambition, hope, conviction, determination, self-respect and inspiration. It is about how we choose to live our lives, and what it means to share our values with other people. In this year-long memoir, which might be described as a historian's take on Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, the celebrated historian Ian Mortimer considers the meaning of running as he approaches his fiftieth birthday. From injuries and frustrated ambitions to exhilaration and empathy, it is a personal and yet universal account of what running means to people, and how it helps everyone focus on what really matters.
