ill., br. Certe vite non finiscono mai di essere raccontate. Jonathan Eig ce lo ricorda in questo monumentale ritratto di Muhammad Ali, «il più grande», l'atleta che meglio di ogni altro è riuscito a travalicare i confini dello sport per diventare un'icona politica e di costume. Un uomo la cui biografia ha già ispirato decine di libri, film, documentari e articoli, che hanno lasciato però la più elementare delle domande - chi era davvero Muhammad Ali? - ancora in attesa di una risposta. Per prima cosa Ali è stato un pugile inarrivabile, capace di rivoluzionare la nobile arte e trasformare il ring nel palcoscenico del Borgoj; poi un umile seguace di Allah e un leader del Black Power, autoproclamatosi nemico pubblico numero uno dell'America bianca e reazionaria; e, suo malgrado, un attivista per i diritti civili, disposto a sacrificare i migliori anni della sua carriera per rimanere fedele a un principio. E ancora: un provocatore dalla rima baciata, un fedifrago ossessionato dal sesso, un avido altruista votato all'autodistruzione, «un fenomeno, uno stato d'animo, un'attitudine, una sfida alla democrazia e al decoro». Attingendo a una mole impressionante di fonti, per buona parte inedite, Eig ripercorre le gesta dell'eroe con una dedizione commovente, senza risparmiargli nulla e riuscendo nell'intento di restituire al lettore, all'appassionato come al neofita, l'epopea di un uomo che è stato, prima di tutto, un inno alla bellezza della contraddizione umana.

br. Lui è Johann Trollmann (1907-1943), pugile sinti nella Germania nazista, il più bravo di tutti, ma c'è un particolare: è uno zingaro. La vita di Johann comincia subito di corsa, da quando, bambino, scopre la boxe e sale sul ring portando con sé i valori e la tradizione della sua gente, e guadagnando strepitose vittorie, una più emozionante dell'altra, con il pubblico (soprattutto femminile) in visibilio. Ma uno zingaro non è come gli altri tedeschi: come può rappresentare la grande Germania alle Olimpiadi del 1928? Le strade del successo ben presto gli vengono sbarrate, il clima politico peggiora, il nazismo travolge tutto, anche la sua vita e quella della sua famiglia. Non importa che Johann sia il più bravo, il titolo di campione dei pesi mediomassimi gli verrà negato, nonostante la vittoria sul ring. Da quel momento la sua vita diventa impossibile: prima il divorzio cui è costretto per salvare la moglie e la figlia, poi la sterilizzazione, la guerra cui partecipa come soldato e infine il campo di concentramento e l'ultima sfida, quella decisiva, contro il kapò, che vincerà, e per questo sarà punito. Con la morte. Dario Fo, grazie a una ricerca di Paolo Cagna Ninchi, ancora una volta recupera una vicenda vera e dimenticata. Solo di recente la Germania ha riconosciuto il valore e l'autenticità di questa storia consegnando alla famiglia Trollmann la corona di campione dei pesi mediomassimi negata a Johann ottant'anni prima.
