Muhammad Ali Bücher

Außerhalb des Boxrings, in dem er Maßstäbe setzte, faszinierte "der Größte" Muhammad Ali seine Fans mit Schlagfertigkeit und messerscharfem Witz. Das freche und selbstsichere verbale Schattenboxen, das er sich mit den Medien, seinen Gegnern und seinen Kritikern lieferte, setzte er nicht selten in unvergessliche, zuweilen äußerst gesellschaftskritische Gedichte um, die härter trafen als jeder seiner Schläge. Auf diesem Schatz provokativer und tiefsinniger Äußerungen, die seit den turbulenten Sechzigerjahren bis heute entstanden sind, basiert die vorliegende Sammlung. Die Texte wurden eigens mit bislang unveröffentlichten Fotos aus dem privaten Familienalbum illustriert. Ein zeitloses Buch der Weisheit und Inspiration!

Über Muhammad Ali ist viel geschrieben worden, hier berichtet er selbst von seinem Leben: aufrichtig, authentisch, poetisch, erzählt von Kraft durch Glauben, Tapferkeit und Moral.

One of the most recognisable, respected and inspirational men on earth, Muhammad Ali is the world's most famous boxing hero. Ali brought unprecedented speed and grace to the sport, and his charm and wit changed forever what the world expects of a champion athlete. This is the ultimate biography to match Ali's lifetime of extraordinary achievements.

Now, working tirelessly as a worldwide ambassador for peace, he talks of the damage caused when religion is used to tear people apart, the essential need for unity in this troubled world, and how his faith sustains him on this, the most important journey of his life - the journey to forgiveness and peace.

I'm A Little Special: A Muhammad Ali Reader collects 30 of the best pieces ever written about this sporting legend in an anthology by the greatest about the Greatest. Muhammad Ali's story is told by a stellar array of authors, athletes and social commentators, all of them compelled to write about this amazing man. In addition to pieces by Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe and Norman Mailer, Floyd Patterson defends Ali's right to criticise America's participation in the Vietnam War; Malcolm X explains how he went from 'entertainer' to 'threat' with his declaration as a 'man of race'; Ali himself contributes with some poetry in his famous interview with Playboy magazine; and Gay Talese gives us a front seat on the 1996 ride to Cuba where Ali met Fidel Castro. Spanning four decades and including 16 pages of photographs, I'm A Little Special is the ultimate book about one of the true heroes of the twentieth century.

In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC. Ali redefined what it meant to be an athlete by giving hope to millions around the world and inspiring us all to fight for what is important to us. This is a multifaceted portrait of Muhammad Ali only he could render: sports legend; unapologetic anti-war advocate; outrageous showman and gracious goodwill ambassador; fighter, lover, poet, and provocateur; an irresistible force to be reckoned with. Who better to tell the tale than the man who went the distance living it?
