Seis asaltos, despu�s, Ali no s�lo se hab�a convertido en el nuevo campe�n del mundo de los pesos pesados: era el «nuevo hombre negro  que en poco tiempo transformar�a la pol�tica racial, la cultura popular y las nociones de hero�smo de Estados Unidos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExplorando la ascensi�n de Ali desde los gimnasios de Louisville, Kentucky, el autor crea un lienzo de incomparable riqueza y nos ofrece un minucioso retrato de las mafias que controlaban el negocio, de los columnistas que dominaban la informaci�n deportiva, de un audaz Norman Mailer y de un enigm�tico Malcom X. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNadie ha captado a Ali con tanta viveza, pasi�n y sagacidad como David Remnick, ganador de un premio Pulitzer y director de \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e. Pero \u003ci\u003eRey del mundo\u003c\/i\u003e es mucho m�s: es la cr�nica de una de las �pocas de Estados Unidos -la d�cada prodigiosa- m�s vitales y vertiginosas; y hace justicia a la rapidez, gracia, valor, humor y entusiasmo de uno de los m�s grandes atletas y de una de las personalidades m�s irresistibles de nuestro tiempo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe story of one of the greatest athletes and one of the most captivating personalities of our time, Muhammad Ali.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the night in 1964 that Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) stepped into the ring with Sonny Liston, he was widely regarded as an irritating freak who danced and talked way too much. Six rounds later Ali was not only the new world heavyweight boxing champion: He was \"a new kind of black man\" who would shortly transform America's racial politics, its popular culture, and its notions of heroism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo one has captured Ali--and the era that he exhilarated and sometimes infuriated--with greater vibrancy, drama, and astuteness than David Remnick, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003cb\u003eLenin's Tomb\u003c\/b\u003e (and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e). In charting Ali's rise from the gyms of Louisville, Kentucky, to his epochal fights against Liston and Floyd Patterson, Remnick creates a canvas of unparalleled richness. He gives us empathetic portraits of wisecracking sportswriters and bone-breaking mobsters; of the baleful Liston and the haunted Patterson; of an audacious Norman Mailer and an enigmatic Malcolm X. Most of all, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eKing of the World\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e does justice to the speed, grace, courage, humor, and ebullience of one of the greatest athletes and irresistibly dynamic personalities of our time.","brand":"Debolsillo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47593167126679,"sku":"9788499086606","price":1147.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788499086606.webp?v=1774980857","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rey-del-mundo-muhammad-ali-y-el-nacimiento-de-un-heroe-americano-king-of-the-world-muhammad-ali-and-the-rise-of-an-american-hero-9788499086606","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
