Beschreibung

'Reveals details that even close followers might not have known. . . . An amazing story' - New York Times Revealing the extraordinary rise of a young fighter from Louisville who changed the world of sports, King of the World chronicles the incredible battles fought by Muhammad Ali inside the ring and out. It was the night of February 25, 1964. A cloud of cigar smoke drifted through the ring lights. Cassius Clay threw punches into the gray floating haze and waited for the bell. When Cassius Clay burst onto the sports scene in the 1950s, he broke the mould. He changed the world of sports and went on to change the world itself: from his early fights as Cassius Clay, the young, wiry man, unwilling to play the noble and grateful warrior in a white world, to becoming Muhammad Ali, the voice of black America and the most recognized face on the planet. King of the World is the story of an incredible rise to power. With grace and power, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Remnick tells of a transcendent athlete and entertainer, a rapper before rap was born. Ali was a mirror of his era, a dynamic figure in the racial and cultural clashes of his time. King of the World is a classic biography and a book worthy of America's most dynamic modern hero. Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
