LAURA HILLENBRAND - A breve - suppongo - dovrebbe uscire anche nell sale cinematografiche italiane il film "Seabiscuit" (con Tobey Maguire, protagonista di Spiderman), tratto dall'omonimo libro di Laura Hillenbrand, che racconta la storia di un cavallo da corsa molto famoso negli Stati uniti negli anni '30."At the peak of his celebrity in the late 1930's, Seabiscuit, a runty, crooked-legged racehorse rescued from obscurity by a California car dealer, was the most famous mammal in America, surpassing even Franklin D. Roosevelt in media attention and popular esteem. In her best-selling book, "Seabiscuit: An American Legend" published two years ago, Laura Hillenbrand ascribed the horse's renown to several causes, including the marketing savvy of his owner, Charles Howard; the growth of a national mass culture fueled by rural electrification, photographic wire services and cheap radios; and the ardent identification of Depression-weary Americans with a scrappy, indomitable underdog." Il New York Times ha intervistato l'autrice del libro.
