    Udvalgte reportager fra fire årtier er et mageløst tværsnit af Hemingways journalistik. Han skriver om kunstnere i Paris, fra sin første tyrefægtning, fra Den Spanske Borgerkrig, han omtaler i et afsnit den hændelse, der bliver til Den gamle mand og havet. Han er på safari og på dybhavsfiskeri, han er med på D-dag i 1944 og deltager i befrielsen af Paris. Og han læser vellystigt sine egne nekrologer efter at være styrtet ned med fly to gange inden for to døgn. Det er journalistik, der skrev historie og satte en standard. "Alle gode bøger ligner hinanden derved, at de alle er sandere, end hvis deres handling virkelig havde fundet sted, og efter at De er færdig med at læse en sådan bog, vil de føle, at det alt sammen er hændt dem og bagefter tilhører det hele dem; det gode og det onde, ekstasen, angeren og sorgen, menneskene og stederne og hvordan vejret var. Hvis man kan nå dertil, at man kan give folk det, så er man forfatter." Fra artiklen "Hilsen fra en gammel journalist på Cuba", 1934 Bogen indeholder 75 artikler, heraf er de 35 aldrig udgivet på dansk før. De er fremragende oversat af Mich Vraa.

    En gribende biografi om Jørgen Gamle Hansen Jørgen Hansen er en af de største og mest karismatiske boksere i dansk boksnings historie. Han var 36 år, da han i 1979 sendte den engelske europamester Dave „Boy” Green til tælling i en kamp, der er gået over i boksehistorien. Med sin lynende højre blev „Gamle Hansen” et ikon, og danskerne elskede den nordjyske rørlægger med den lune humor og de hurtige punchlines. I de første år som professionel var Jørgen Hansen en middelmådig bokser, der ofte var udskældt i pressen, men da den ugandiske amatørverdensmester Ayub Kalule kom til Danmark i 1976, vendte karrieren. „Gamle” Hansen fandt sin anden ungdom, vandt ni europamesterskaber og rakte ud efter en VM-kamp i USA. Gamle Hansen er historien om bokseren, der fik tæsk som dreng og indimellem i ringen slog fra sig i ren angst. Oftest var han farligst, når han blev presset, men med en kompleks psyke kunne han også finde på nærmest at opgive uden kamp. Som 39-årig – og efter mere end tyve års gigantiske op- og nedture, skandaler, triumfer, sygdom og uhyggelige knockouts – sagde Jørgen Hansen stop. Herefter blev han i en årrække kendt som den karismatiske bartender på “Hviids Vinstue” i København. I dag har han fået konstateret demens, men langtidshukommelsen er der stadig og i selskab med Mogens Palle, Hans Henrik Palm, Ayub Kalule, Børge Krogh, Hanne Hansen og mange flere fortæller han i GAMLE HANSEN om en karriere uden sidestykke i dansk boksning. Jørgen Hansen var en ringens gentleman og det er i dette interessante spændingsfelt mellem mandens harehjerte og uventede evne til indimellem at slå knockout, at den store læseroplevelse venter. ***** VEJLE AMTS FOLKEBLAD Slagkraftig bog om den gamle Hansen: Birgitte Lorentzens bog om den ni-dobbelte europamester, Jørgen “Gamle” Hansen er en hjertevarm fortælling, om en af dansk idræts mærkværdigeste karrierer – og en skæbnefortælling om et sårbart menneske. ***** JYDSKE VESTKYSTEN ” “Gamles” historie er ikke blot historien om en mand, der blev bokser på trods, men også dansk idrætshistorie om overgangen fra amatørsport til professionel sport og alle de sværdslag, det bragte med sig **** JYLLANDSPOSTEN “Forfatteren har skildret både Jørgen Hansens barndom, hvor han boede hos sine bedsteforældre, fordi faderen var alkoholiker, fodboldkarrieren i AIA, amatørkarrieren med 159 kampe i bokseklubberne FAK og Lindholm og karrieren som professionel, hvor hans triumfer og fiaskoer skildres med præcision og troværdighed … ”Gamle Hansen” er meget mere end en bog om boksning ***** HORSENS FOLKEBLAD

    A trip across America to track down the great fighters from yesteryear who vanished from the limelight, and hear their incredible storiesIn the era of boxing's pay-per-view superstars, Tris Dixon invested in a Greyhound bus pass and spent several months traversing America on a shoestring budget, tracking down fighters from yesteryear who had vanished from the limelight. Venturing from New York to Las Vegas and from Toronto to Miami, the young writer--himself a former amateur boxer--sought out coulda-been-contenders and cult heroes from the 1950s to the 2000s, all now faded from popular memory. He visited old people's homes, gyms, and too many prisons, discovering that life after boxing can be a cruel place when the ropes are no longer in place to keep fighters safe from the outside world. Dixon meets men who shaped boxing history, fighting the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. He shares their memories and weaves together their forgotten tales over the course of a remarkable American journey.

    "Ich sehe Alligatoren mit Posaunen!" - Muhammad Ali; Kinshasa, 1974Die Zutaten hätten dramatischer nicht sein können: Inszeniert von einem kriminellen Boxpromoter mit Sturmfrisur (Don King) im Reich eines Diktators mit Leopardenfellmütze (Mobutu), trafen am 30. Oktober 1974 in Kinshasa im damaligen Zaire zwei Boxer aufeinander, um sich einen epischen Kampf zu liefern. Der eine war Muhammad Ali, der seine besten Jahre hinter sich hatte, aber entschlossen war, den verlorenen Weltmeistertitel zurückzuerobern. Der andere war George Foreman, der so wortkarg war wie Ali wortgewaltig und als klarer Favorit gehandelt wurde. Millionen Fernsehzuschauer auf der ganzen Welt verfolgten diese spektakuläre Titanenschlacht mit überraschendem Ausgang, die als Rumble in the Jungle in die Geschichte einging.In Kinshasa mit dabei war auch das "Enfant terrible" der amerikanischen Literaturszene, der Starautor und Pulitzer-Preisträger Norman Mailer, der seine Eindrücke und Beobachtungen ein Jahr später unter dem Titel The Fight veröffentlichte, eine literarische Reportage von rund 250 Seiten.In unserer Hommage an das legendärste Boxereignis aller Zeiten erscheint Mailers Text in einer gekürzten Fassung, eingeleitet von einem Essay des Mailer-Experten J. Michael Lennon und erstmals bebildert mit Farb- und Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien jener beiden Männer, die wie keine anderen Ali sowohl im Ring als auch im Privatleben im Bild festhielten: Howard L. Bingham und Neil Leifer.

    INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!WITH A FOREWORD BY TOM BRADY ?As a sportscaster and sports historian, Jim's career genuinely stands the test of time. . . . This book is sports history about some of the greats by one of the greats, who was taking it all in on the sidelines, in the stands or the dugout, by the eighteenth green, courtside, or in the broadcast booth.? ?Tom Brady, seven-time NFL Super Bowl champion GOATA riveting, insightful memoir of never-before-told stories from Jim Gray, twelve-time Emmy Award-winner, Hall of Fame sports broadcaster, and renowned interviewer? that explores the author's career and the inside stories and memorable moments of the famous legends he has covered including, Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson.In Talking to GOATs, award-winning broadcaster Jim Gray looks back at his four decades of sports reporting from the unparalleled perspective of one of the world's most respected and skilled interviewers. A journalist who many iconic athletes have trusted to tell their stories (of both triumph and disgrace), Jim has had unprecedented access to the people, places and extraordinary events in the world of sports. Asking tough but fair questions, he has broken numerous stories, and landed squarely in the middle of others, from the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals, to Michael Jordan's surprise retirement, to the off-the-court Kobe/Shaq feud which led to their on-the-court break up, to being part of the live broadcast for twenty-two Super Bowls. He's climbed into the ring to interview Mike Tyson after he bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear, and stood next to Ron Artest when the ?Malice at the Palace? melee erupted, and was on site at the bombing of the Atlanta Olympics.Anyone who has watched Jim effortlessly engage his subjects at the precise moment of triumph or tragedy has little idea what it takes to secure the interview, or what actually happens when the camera cuts away. These are real, mesmerizing, and previously untold stories. Talking to GOATs features numerous world-class athletes, including Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, Michael Phelps, Mike Tyson and Tiger Woods, and world leaders George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Mikhail Gorbachev, and many more. On each page, Jim gives the reader a coveted all-access pass as he reviews the best interviews, the best athletes, and the best games in modern sports history. It's like a personal introduction to the characters and careers of these heroes and villains we've known since childhood. He examines how money, celebrity, the media, and power interact, and how sports, more than any other institution, has led to momentous transformations in American society.

    Striking and take-downs are the two primary tools in the martial arts or combatives practitioners arsenal. However, when we do not understand the fundamentals behind these tools they inevitably degenerate - strikes become less and less powerful and takedowns are ineffective and easily resisted or countered. In this Little Book:How all take-downs fundamentally work and how to fix take-downs that aren't effective.How you can perfect your own take-downs as well as identify which take-down to apply to an opponent and when.How to generate the maximal amount of force in your strikes.How to ensure that the force generated is actually applied to your opponent.How to stop the generated force from bleeding or dissipating before making contact with your opponent. And herein lies the purpose of this little book on Fundamentals. It is little in the sense that it means to offer a concise, easy to study and easy to assimilate, treatment on the topic of Fundamentals. Its aim, with a laser like focus, is on educating both the practitioner and instructor with the Fundamentals pertaining specifically to combatives and martial arts. Its goal is to assist the reader to not only sharpen up, but rather to excel, in all aspects of their fighting career."I've had the privilege of being instructed by Schalk and assisting him instruct others over the years. He is one of the few people who are natural born teachers and has a remarkable ability to assimilate information and deliver it in a concise and easy to understand way. Even complicated technical subjects. This is what the Little Book of Fundamentals does.

Fire år efter, at Rivera vippede Cal af tronen i kampsporten mixed martial art, har Cals træner, Riley, arrangeret en revanchekamp, ganske vist på Riveras hjemmebane i Mexico, men Cal føler sig klar, han trænger til at få vasket pletten væk og har trænet hårdere end nogensinde før. Den apati, han blev ramt af i tiden efter, at han blev knockoutet af Rivera, er væk, han har fået ny energi og fokus tilbage. Riley har ret: Rivera kan bare komme an. Men Rivera har aldrig tabt en kamp, og i dagene op til kampen begynder Cal og Riley hver for sig at tvivle på, om han overhovedet kan besejres. Der er meget på spil. Hvis Cal må lægge handskerne på hylden (for det vil et nyt nederlag betyde), aner ingen af dem, hvad de så skal lave. De ønsker ikke at svigte hinanden. Det er de panisk ræd for.

    Muhammad Ali, often hailed as "The Greatest," is a name synonymous with not only the sport of boxing but also with courage, conviction, and charisma that transcended the boundaries of the ring. This narrative embarks on a journey through the life, legacy, and enduring impact of the legendary boxing icon, who left an indelible mark on sports, civil rights, and global culture.Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, Muhammad Ali's journey to becoming a global icon was nothing short of extraordinary. His early years in the sport were marked by unparalleled talent, grace, and a brash self-confidence that captivated audiences worldwide. Ali's charismatic personality and verbal prowess earned him a reputation as one of the most entertaining and controversial figures in sports history.However, Muhammad Ali's legacy extends far beyond his boxing prowess. He was an unwavering advocate for civil rights and social justice during a tumultuous era in the United States. Ali's refusal to be drafted into the military during the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to the war, resulted in him being stripped of his boxing titles and banned from the sport for several years. This bold stance made him a symbol of resistance and a champion of individual conscience.Ali's return to the ring in the 1970s was a triumphant comeback, marked by iconic matches against opponents like Joe Frazier and George Foreman. The "Rumble in the Jungle" and the "Thrilla in Manila" are etched in boxing lore as some of the most thrilling and emotionally charged bouts in history.Moreover, Muhammad Ali's humanitarian efforts and philanthropic contributions left a lasting legacy of compassion and service. He dedicated his post-boxing years to humanitarian work, championing causes such as world peace, humanitarian aid, and the fight against Parkinson's disease, a condition he battled due to the physical toll of his boxing career.In conclusion, "The Legendary Boxing Icon: Muhammad Ali" is a tribute to a man who transcended the sport of boxing to become a global symbol of resilience, social justice, and the unyielding pursuit of one's principles. Muhammad Ali's life story continues to inspire generations, serving as a reminder of the transformative power of conviction, charisma, and the indomitable human spirit. His legacy is not just in the ring but in the hearts and minds of those who continue to be inspired by his enduring example.
