Maratona Zátopek

Description: The project transforms Rick Broadbent’s book "Emil Zátopek: An Extraordinary Life in Unordinary Times" into a visual narrative. It designs a marathon route through Prague that parallels Zátopek's biography, the greatest medium-to-long distance runner ever. This route covers 36 significant locations from the book, each symbolizing key socio-political events of his era. The concept aims to immerse readers in the historical context described by Broadbent while metaphorically journeying through Zátopek’s life.
