  Cinderella Man: James J. Braddock, Max Baer and the Greatest Upset in Boxing History, Hörbuch, Digital, 338min

  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 12 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 of the ring. A 10-to-1 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, Cinderella Man is a classic David and Goliath tale that transcends the sport. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Schaap.

  Die Craigh-Ranch birgt ein düsteres Geheimnis. Zuerst muss der Vormann Bill Wesley sterben, wenig später auch der Rancher. Seine beiden Töchter Ann und Jane wissen nicht, was das zu bedeuten hat. Nur dass ein Cowboy namens Loman die Morde begangen haben soll. Noch während die Jagd auf Loman beginnt, mischen sich die beiden Special Deputys Braddock und Yumah ein. Denn ihr Auftrag hat ebenfalls mit der Craigh-Ranch zu tun - und mit einem Überfall, der vor etlichen Jahren stattfand. Damals wurde eine große Geldsumme geraubt.
