Resumen
Edición trilingüe: Inglés / Francés / AlemánA sheer transport of beauty and movementWith more than 280 impressive pictures, this book shows the many faces of the Berlin Olympic Games. It illustrates the classical side of the Games in all their radiant beauty, and indeed illuminates the great fundamental concept of the Olympics. Dr. Arnold Fanck, who has made many a great film, says of this book: Leni Riefenstahl;s great visual work Olympia is not only the most beautiful achievement I have ever seen in this field - and I believe I am familiar with well-nigh every visual work on a sporting subject - but is indeed so unique in its beauty that it cannot be named together with anything else that has hitherto appeared in this area. It is a sheer transport of beauty and movement.
