DE MARATHON: de af te leggen afstand is 700 kilometer.

DE REGELS: meedogenloos eenvoudig. Er mag niet langzamer dan 6 km per uur gelopen worden; men moet blijven bewegen; er zal slechts één winnaar zijn. Bij overtreding krijgen de deelnemers drie waarschuwingen. De vierde is de laatste en definitief, de kogel.

DE SCHEIDSRECHTER: de majoor, geholpen door zijn trouwe soldaten.

DE DEELNEMERS: honderd zorgvuldig geselecteerde jongeren, onder wie de zestienjarige Ray Garraty. De race kan beginnen...

In De marathon beschrijft Stephen King op bloed stollende wijze hoe sport zich in de nabije toekomst zou kunnen ontwikkelen. Enerzijds is er de sporter zelf die zijn lichaam op steeds extremere wijze wil testen, anderzijds is er het publiek, waarvoor verliezers letterlijk niet meer lijken te bestaan.

Work Description

The Long Walk is a dystopian horror novel by American writer Stephen King, published in 1979, under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. It was collected in 1985 in the hardcover omnibus The Bachman Books, and has seen several reprints since, as both paperback and hardback.

Set in a future dystopian America, ruled by a totalitarian and militaristic dictator, the plot revolves around the contestants of a grueling, annual walking contest. In 2000, the American Library Association listed The Long Walk as one of the 100 best books for teenage readers published between 1966 and 2000.
