2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Ireland`s great road racing champion Shay Elliott, who died in mysterious circumstances at the tragically early age of 36. He was one of the very first English speaking cyclists who made a serious impact in the professional peloton, & his exploits have never been fully appreciated, either in the traditional heartland of cycling or in his own country. The year after Tom Simpson became the first British rider to wear the race-leader`s yellow jersey in the Tour de France, Shay repeated the feat for Irel&. & more so
- for not only did he take the jersey after winning the stage over the legendary cobbled roads to Roubaix, but he retained it for three days until, like Simpson, he lost it in the time trial. Elliott was also the first from the English speaking countries to win stages in the Giro d` Italia & the Vuelta a Espana (a race in which he held the race leadership for several days & finished on the podium in third place overall) so becoming one of a mere handful of riders to have won stages in all three Grand Tours. Shay`s career & life were punctuated equally by success & glory, & by disappointment & betrayal, & ultimate tragedy. However he left behind a rare legacy in professional cycling which until now has never been substantially documented. This book seeks to redress that lack. A decade after his death Ireland produced two exceptional riders, Sean Kelly & Stephen Roche, whose achievements surpassed those of Shay Elliott, but Shay was the first, & will always remain so.

Throughout southern Africa, shebeens are where jokes are born, news is embellished & exchanged. They are unique vantage points where men go after a day`s work, both to escape from the troubled world around them & to observe & comment on it. In Shebeen Tales, Zimbabwe`s leading author offers a view of his country not from the privileged & insulated perspective of a well-heeled visitor, but that of the ordinary person who, with the help of dry wit & illegal beer, pokes fun at the rich & mighty. Struggling against madcap motorists, pompous bureaucrats & the other woes of life in the city, the man in the shebeen sees modern Africa as it really is, not as press releases or tourist brochures would have us believe. Hove looks straight in the eye of a society suffering from AIDS, drought & economic hardship, but does not succumb to despair. With a wry sense of humour, he celebrates a people who live life to the full, laugh & sing, tell tall tales — whatever is thrown at them. In new pieces written for this edition, he discusses the vexed issue of homosexuality in Zimbabwe & also casts an amused eye at President Mugabe`s wedding. ...
