Come Ibra, Kobe, Bruce Lee è un libro sullo sport che parte dalla convinzione che "chi sa tutto soltanto di sport non sa niente neanche di sport". Nell'agonismo e nella dedizione di cui si nutre lo sport c'è qualcosa che lo supera ed è lì che si forma gran parte della mitologia di cui abbiamo bisogno in ogni azione della nostra vita. È grazie ai grandi atleti che hanno segnato la storia che oggi si possono raccontare quei valori e quelle attitudini che sono fondamentali per la nostra esistenza.

A revolutionary approach to the techniques of working with horses, by a renowned instructor.

When the federal government catches hotshot financial adviser Louis Martin “Marty” Blazer defrauding his NFL-player clients, it’s time to come clean. He has no reasonable defense.

Nel corso degli anni, Federer ha fatto sembrare il tennis uno sport straordinariamente semplice: cesellando rovesci, volteggiando per colpire di dritto, saltando per uno smash, ha incantato il mondo per l'eleganza dei suoi gesti atletici e ha ridefinito il concetto di bellezza. Ma la strada che lo ha portato a diventare il numero 1 al mondo non è stata affatto semplice: da adolescente lunatico e nervoso, Federer è diventato un campione di autocontrollo, un esempio di sportività e lealtà in un mondo – quello del tennis – dominato dal cinismo.

What if Babe Ruth had not been sold to the Yankees in 1920 and instead played his entire career in Boston? What if Muhammad Ali had lost or quit in his first fight against Sonny Liston?
