    Mehr als ein Champion
    Boxästhet, Großmaul, schwarzer Rebell - Jan Philipp Reemtsma beschreibt die schillernde Persönlichkeit und den außergewöhnlichen Stil des Gesamtkunstwerks Muhammad Ali.Muhammad Ali ist der berühmteste Boxer aller Zeiten. Er war ein Großmaul, konnte gleichzeitig unwiderstehlich und charmant sein, konvertierte zum Islam, verweigerte den Kriegsdienst und fügte sich in keine Rolle. Seine heute legendären Kämpfe gegen Liston, Frazier oder Foreman verfolgten viele, die dem Boxsport eigentlich nichts abgewinnen konnten. Seine Kämpfe, seine Persönlichkeit und die offensive Behauptung, er sei das, was Afroamerikaner nicht sein sollten - gutaussehend, selbstbewusst, großspurig -, machten ihn zu einer wichtigen Figur für die amerikanische Bürgerrechtsbewegung und später zu einem international anerkannten Symbol des Geistes der Freiheit.Muhammad Ali war mehr als ein Boxchampion. Er war ein Meister archaischer Gewalt und ein Held unserer modernen Gesellschaft.

Confidential and Chinatown, evokes a time in our nation's history when powerful men were willing to do whatever they thought necessary to achieve their goals. A simple black-and-white photograph, taken during the 1964 Clay-Liston fight in Miami Beach, sets off a modern-day murder spree that reaches from the quiet neighborhoods of Miami to the back corridors of the White House. When the last remaining copy falls into the hands of Thorn, a Key Largo recluse, he and everyone he loves become the targets of madmen and trained killers, each of whom has his own powerful motive to see the photograph destroyed forever and its secrets kept hidden. ungekürzt.

    Buckley and Mailer: The Difficult Friendship That Shaped the Sixties , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 708min
    Norman Mailer and William F. Buckley, Jr., were towering figures who argued publicly about every major issue of the 1960s: the counterculture, Vietnam, feminism, civil rights, the Cold War. Behind the scenes, the two were close friends and trusted confidantes who lived surprisingly parallel lives. In Buckley and Mailer, historian Kevin M. Schultz delves into their personal archives to tell the rich story of their friendship, arguments, and the tumultuous decade they did so much to shape. From their Playboy-sponsored debate before the Patterson-Liston heavyweight fight in 1962 to their campaigns for mayor of New York City to their confrontations at Truman Capote's Black-and-White Ball, over the March on the Pentagon, and at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, Schultz delivers a fresh chronicle of the '60s and its long aftermath, as well as an entertaining work of narrative history that explores these extraordinary figures' contrasting visions of America and the future. ungekürzt.

    Ten Thousand Words a Minute , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
    Paret lay on the ground, quivering gently, a small froth on his mouth. The house doctor jumped into the ring. He knelt. He pried Paret's eyelid open. He looked at the eyeball staring out. He let the lid snap shut. He reached into his satchel, took out a needle, jabbed Paret with a stimulant. Paret's back rose in a high arch. He writhed in real agony. They were calling him back from death. One wanted to cry out, "Leave the man alone. Let him die." In 1962, Norman Mailer traveled to Chicago to witness the highly anticipated boxing match between heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson and the fearsome Sonny Liston. Along the way, Mailer - arguably the most iconic American writer of the twentieth century - discourses on the nature of, among other things, journalism, prizefighting, good and evil, and life and death. At once terrifying and beautiful, Ten Thousand Words a Minute shows a one-of-a-kind talent at his all-time best. Ten Thousand Words a Minute was originally published in Esquire, February 1963. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Sutherland.
