Beschreibung:
Kal Wagenheim is a journalist and author of several plays and books (including a biography of Puerto Rican baseball icon Roberto Clemente). His translations from the Spanish include La charca, a classic nineteenth-century novel by Manuel Zeno-Gandía, and The Seventh Miracle, a moving Holocaust memoir by Jorge Klainman.
Roberto Clemente, the first Latino baseball superstar, died on December 31, 1972, when his plane crashed while he tried to fly relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. Clemente¿s legacy endures nearly four decades after his tragic death, because he was not only a superb player ¿ one of the best ever ¿ but also a true hero, a passionate advocate for civil rights and for helping and inspiring others. Those who loved and admired Clemente speak out with touching memories in this moving and affecting book.
