Synopsis
Lost in the annals of boxing is the sport's true Cinderella story. James J. Braddock, dubbed "Cinderella Man" by Damon Runyon, was a once promising light heavyweight for whom a string of losses in the ring and a broken right hand happened to coincide with the Great Crash of 1929. With one good hand, Braddock was forced to labor on the docks of Hoboken. Only his manager, Joe Gould, still believed in him, finding fights for Braddock to help feed his wife and children. The diminutive, loquacious Jew and the burly, quiet Irishman made one of boxing's oddest couples, but together they staged the greatest comeback in fighting history. In twelve months Braddock went from the relief rolls to face heavyweight champion Max Baer, the Livermore Butcher Boy, renowned for having allegedly killed two men in the ring. A charismatic, natural talent and in every way Braddock's foil, Baer was a towering opponent, a Jew from the West Coast who was famously brash and made great copy both in and out ofthe ring. A ten-to-one underdog, Braddock carried the hopes and dreams of the working class on his shoulders. And when boxing was the biggest sport in the world, when the heavyweight champion was the biggest star in the world, his unlikely upset made Braddock the most popular champion boxing had ever seen. Against the gritty backdrop of the Depression, Cinderella Man brings this dramatic all-American story to life, evoking a time when the sport of boxing resonated with a country trying desperately to get back on its feet. Schaap paints a vivid picture of the fight world in its golden age, populated by men of every class and ethnic background and covered voluminously by writers who elevated sports writing to art. Rich in anecdote and color, steeped in history, and full of human interest, Cinderellla Man is a classic David and Goliath tale that transcends the sport., Lost in the annals of boxing is the sport's true Cinderella story.

- .***g (10)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipping was fast with good bubble wrapping, and the books I purchased came in great condition considering their age, true to how they were pictured on the listing. Thank you for the opportunity to collect a couple rare, out of print books with minimal wear at a fair price!
- b***i (26)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufThe book arrived in days, which is something of a miracle in northern MI where deliveries tend to take longer. I think it was described as "used, very good" but it is pristine, I could not distinguish it from a new book. I am also very happy the seller did not price gouge like everyone else is doing and that I got it for $20 when everyone else is charging $35 and up.Mend It Better Creative Patching, Darning, and Stitching by Kristin M.
