Nicholas Godfrey Libros

Travelling the world chasing after racehorses in an amazing eight-month journey, Nicholas Godfrey went around the world three times, covering around 80,000 miles across four continents in search of horse racing in all its various shapes and sizes.

Exploring the New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and early 1970s, this book critiques the romanticized view of this transformative period in cinema. It delves into the stylistic boldness and thematic complexity often celebrated, while questioning the prevailing notion of auteurism and the directorial freedom associated with it. Through its analysis, the work seeks to provide a more nuanced understanding of this pivotal time in film history.

Postcards from the World of Horse Racing is the new book by international racing expert Nicholas Godfrey, who visits racecourses on six continents, from the Kentucky Derby and the Dubai World Cup to racing on a frozen lake in St Moritz. The cast list features Black Caviar, Zenyatta and American Pharoah.
