  • Overview

    La historia de uno de los más grandes atletas y una de las personalidades más irresistibles de nuestro tiempo, Muhammad Ali.

    Cuando aquella noche de 1964, Muhammad Ali, conocido por entonces como Cassius Clay, saltó al cuadrilátero para enfrentarse a Sonny Liston, fue contemplado por todo el mundo como un irritante adefesio que se movía y hablaba demasiado. Seis asaltos, después, Ali no sólo se había convertido en el nuevo campeón del mundo de los pesos pesados: era el «nuevo hombre negro» que en poco tiempo transformaría la política racial, la cultura popular y las nociones de heroísmo de Estados Unidos.

    Explorando la ascensión de Ali desde los gimnasios de Louisville, Kentucky, el autor crea un lienzo de incomparable riqueza y nos ofrece un minucioso retrato de las mafias que controlaban el negocio, de los columnistas que dominaban la información deportiva, de un audaz Norman Mailer y de un enigmático Malcom X.

    Nadie ha captado a Ali con tanta viveza, pasión y sagacidad como David Remnick, ganador de un premio Pulitzer y director de The New Yorker. Pero Rey del mundo es mucho más: es la crónica de una de las épocas de Estados Unidos -la década prodigiosa- más vitales y vertiginosas; y hace justicia a la rapidez, gracia, valor, humor y entusiasmo de uno de los más grandes atletas y de una de las personalidades más irresistibles de nuestro tiempo.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    The story of one of the greatest athletes and one of the most captivating personalities of our time, Muhammad Ali.

    On the night in 1964 that Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) stepped into the ring with Sonny Liston, he was widely regarded as an irritating freak who danced and talked way too much. Six rounds later Ali was not only the new world heavyweight boxing champion: He was "a new kind of black man" who would shortly transform America's racial politics, its popular culture, and its notions of heroism.

    No one has captured Ali--and the era that he exhilarated and sometimes infuriated--with greater vibrancy, drama, and astuteness than David Remnick, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lenin's Tomb (and editor of The New Yorker). In charting Ali's rise from the gyms of Louisville, Kentucky, to his epochal fights against Liston and Floyd Patterson, Remnick creates a canvas of unparalleled richness. He gives us empathetic portraits of wisecracking sportswriters and bone-breaking mobsters; of the baleful Liston and the haunted Patterson; of an audacious Norman Mailer and an enigmatic Malcolm X. Most of all, King of the World does justice to the speed, grace, courage, humor, and ebullience of one of the greatest athletes and irresistibly dynamic personalities of our time.
