Περιγραφή για The The Hurt Business: A Century of the Greatest Writing on Boxing Aurum

From Jack London to Joyce Carol Oates, The Hurt Business is the ultimate boxing book covering a century of the greatest fighter and the writers who have followed \'the sweet science\'. Beginning with Jack London\'s account of the 1910 championship bout between Jack Johnson and James Jeffries (for which the Call of the Wildman called for and coined the term \"The Great White Hope\"), and ending with Carlo Rotella\'s 2002 homage to Larry Holmes (\"Champion at Twilight\"), The Hurt Business is a near century\'s worth of rip-roaring reveal. Some of it comes ringside, like Norman Mailer et; some of it comes from the gym, like Pete Hamill\'s \"Up the Stairs with Cus D\'Amato\"; and some of it comes from so far behind the scenes you feel as if you\'ve been eavesdropping - Thomas Hauser\'s excerpt from The Black Lights. For fans of Norman Mailer\'s The Fight or George Kimball\'s Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing, The Hurt Business belongs on the shelves of any fan of boxing or sublime sports writing.
