What do you do next if you have walked on the moon? How do you follow the first perfect 10 in Olympic history? How do you move on after surviving a plane crash? Some people will forever be defined by a single moment. What do you do next if you have walked on the moon? How do you follow the first perfect 10 in Olympic history? How do you move on after surviving a plane crash? Some people will forever be defined by a single moment. Chris Wright has travelled the globe tracking down a remarkable assortment of high achievers. From the astronaut who turned to painting to the World Cup-winning footballer who became an undertaker, each has grappled with the challenge of finding meaning once their fame has faded. In a series of revealing interviews with strikingly contrasting personalities, we discover Chuck Yeager’s irascibility, John McCarthy’s extraordinary even-tempered decency, the tough practicality of Nadia Comaneci and the fastidiously structured mind of mountaineer Reinhold Messner. Though very different, all these oddly feted individuals have one trait in common: after their appointment with destiny the did not spend the rest of their lives looking backwards. No More Worlds to Conquer explains why.

Bol PartnerWeinigen zullen betwisten dat de titel van Trower's album - No More Worlds To Conquer - een goede samenvatting is van de voetafdruk die hij op het muzikale universum heeft achtergelaten. Maar zoals hij ons eraan herinnert, moet het niet verkeerd worden geïnterpreteerd als een volbrachte missie. "Ik heb absoluut het gevoel dat ik nog steeds naar nieuwe hoogtes stijg", meent hij, "met de gitaar, de liedjes en al het andere."Al meer dan zes decennia kent de carrière van Robin Trower geen grenzen. Op 76-jarige leeftijd kan de Britse gitarist terugdenken aan een reis waarin hij vlaggen in de muziekhistorie heeft geplant en alle denkbare rollen heeft gespeeld. Hij was de drijvende kracht achter de iconische band uit de jaren 60 Procol Harum. De transatlantische solo-ster die de Amerikaanse stadions vulde met Bridge Of Sighs uit 1974. De man die menig samenwerking aanging en in de nodige super groepen speelde. De songwriter wiens late periode nog steeds knettert van de vindingrijkheid.“Bij elk album is het het beste wat ik op dat moment kan doen. Ik denk dat het daar om gaat. Ik stel doelen voor mijzelf en elk nummer moet daaraan voldoen."
