Butterfly: From Refugee to Olympian, My Story of Rescue, Hope, and Triumph

Refugee's survival to Olympic triumph.

If you've ever sought a story that melds adversity with the pinnacle of human achievement, Yusra Mardini's "Butterfly" is a natural choice. Not only does it chart a heart-wrenching journey of escape from war but also an ascent to the heights of Olympic glory. It's a narrative that affirms the indomitability of the human spirit, and a first-hand account that could inspire resilience and hope in anyone who feels adrift in their own challenges.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Butterfly is the inspiring memoir by Yusra Mardini, recounting how she fled war-torn Syria, survived a dangerous sea crossing, and pursued her dream of Olympic swimming. After leaving Damascus in 2015, she and her sister Sara guided passengers to safety during a perilous dinghy voyage, while their engine failed. Yusra's journey took her from Europe to Berlin and ultimately to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. Her story is the basis for the Netflix film The Swimmers, and the paperback edition includes an updated afterword. This memoir highlights resilience, hope, and the power of never giving up.
