Drawing on an extraordinary range of real mishaps, misjudgements and doomed undertakings, he records the people whose efforts went spectacularly wrong despite courage, confidence or careful planning. The result is a comic catalogue of failure that is both absurd and oddly reassuring. Perfect for dipping into, this collection proves once again that success may inspire us, but failure usually makes the better story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48710772916436,"sku":"TVJ-032031","price":11.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-032031-1.jpg?v=1789959920","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/the-return-of-heroic-failures-by-stephen-pile","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
