Beschreibung:
Budd Schulberg, 1914 in New York City geboren, wuchs in Hollywood auf. Mit 22 Jahren begann er, für die großen Studios zu schreiben und verfasste u.a. die Drehbücher für die Erfolgsfilme »Die Faust im Nacken« (mit Marlon Brando) und »Ein Gesicht in der Menge« von Elia Kazan. Für Ersteren wurde ihm der Oscar für das beste Drehbuch verliehen. Der 1941 erschienene Roman »What Makes Sammy Run?« machte ihn schlagartig berühmt. Budd Schulberg starb im April 2009 auf Long Island.
Ringside is a bountiful collection of the most memorable boxing stories by legendary fight-game writer Budd Schulberg. Schulberg takes us all the way back to an epic bare-knuckle contest in England 200 years ago; draws a revealing portrait of 'Uncle' Mike Jacobs, the promotional impresario of boxing in its golden age; expertly places Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali in the social context of their times; brings followers up to date on the careers of the great names of recent decades - Tyson, Holyfield, de la Hoya, Hopkins, 'Chico' Corrales; and much more. Throughout this book, Schulberg provides the perfect blend of great writing on great fighters, laced with a realistic sense of boxing's wrongs as well as its rights. With prose that sparkles with authority and insight, Ringside is a main event in the world of sports literature.
