Ed Caesar
from My Life In Books with Red Szell · host Accessible Media Inc.
Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Szell for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. For this episode, Red is joined by writer and journalist Ed Caesar. In his first book, "Two Hours," Ed explored the quest to run a sub-two-hour marathon, and the men determined to break that seemingly impossible barrier. His follow-up, "The Moth and The Mountain," tells the extraordinary story of Maurice Wilson, a First World War veteran who, in 1933, attempted to fly a Gipsy Moth biplane from England to the foothills of Mount Everest, and then climb the as yet unconquered mountain alone! Join Ed and Red as they explore the extremes of human endurance and the circumstances that drive some people there.
