br. Una raccolta di saggi, scritti nell'arco di vent'anni, quattro dei quali pubblicati per la prima volta in Italia, che ripercorrono la storia della boxe dai giochi gladiatori dell'antica Roma al pugilato a mani nude praticato in Inghilterra fin dal Diciottesimo secolo; dai combattimenti tra schiavi nell'America della Secessione alle sfide tra i fuoriclasse entrati ormai nella leggenda come Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson e Joe Louis. Joyce Carol Oates tratta con sensibilità e rispetto il mondo della boxe, che ha imparato a conoscere fin da bambina assecondando la passione del padre. Racconta le vite spesso rocambolesche dei campioni, le loro alterne vicende e fortune, i risvolti sociali e di costume, gli interessi che si intrecciano nell'attesa dei grandi incontri, gli aspetti controversi eppure affascinanti di questa disciplina. Intellettuale d'eccezione, Oates si accosta con entusiasmo e disincanto allo sport che forse più di altri incarna la miseria e la magnificenza della natura umana, offrendo un punto di vista inedito e virile sulla "nobile arte".
br. La vita, in fondo, non è che un succedersi di round: alcuni li perdiamo, altri li vinciamo. Altre volte finiamo al tappeto. È per questo che i pugili più amati non sono soltanto i campioni invincibili, i trionfatori, ma coloro che alternano momenti di gloria e di sconfitta, che lungo la strada lastricata di sacrifici cercano un riscatto da una vita di ingiustizie. I pugili sono i veri protagonisti dell'epopea della boxe, e le loro storie rivivono tra queste pagine. I pionieri degli albori che combattevano per fuggire dalla fame, i grandiosi pugili neri e le loro storie di rivalsa, gli immensi campioni e le loro esistenze al limite. Storie d'altri tempi e storie recentissime, le terribili sconfitte e i grandi trionfi di uomini e donne contagiati dalla febbre del ring.

br. Cresciuto nel quartiere più malfamato di Brooklyn e strappato al riformatorio da un coach di origine italiana, Mike Tyson sembrava aver ottenuto il suo riscatto diventando il più giovane campione del mondo dei pesi massimi. Invece i suoi guai cominciavano ora: la condanna per stupro, la detenzione, il morso all'orecchio a Holyfield e la seguente sparatoria che chiudevano nel 1997 la sua carriera. Le droghe e il sesso sfrenato, uniti alla morte accidentale della figlioletta, sembravano spingere il pugile verso un finale di autodistruzione. Invece, incredibilmente, insieme alla pace familiare Tyson ha trovato una via di uscita diventando attore di se stesso. Questo libro racconta la sua parabola sportiva, ma anche il tentativo di un riscatto morale che non sarà mai completo. Per aiutarci a capire la complessità di un uomo che, come dice lui stesso, ogni giorno della sua esistenza si è meravigliato di essere ancora vivo.

ill., br. Checco Cavicchi, Cesco per i suoi concittadini di Pieve di Cento, è stato un pugile italiano che ha combattuto nella categoria dei pesi massimi ottenendo importanti successi tanto da diventare negli anni '50 l'idolo di tutti gli italiani che lo ritenevano "il nuovo Carnera". Cavicchi riuscì a portare 60.000 persone allo stadio comunale di Bologna per il suo famoso match per la corona europea dei pesi massimi contro il favorito tedesco Heinz Neuhaus. Oltre ad una fulminante carriera tra i Dilettanti, come professionista ha combattuto in 89 incontri vincendone 71 dei quali 45 per KO. La sua bonarietà e serietà facevano sì che per tutti non fosse solo un campione ma anche un "personaggio di casa" al quale voler bene. Nel libro oltre alla storia di Cavicchi e agli articoli e i ricordi di giornalisti che l'hanno incontrato e intervistato figurano moltissime immagini del fotografo, Walter Breveglieri, che lo ha ritratto dentro e fuori dal ring. Non manca una ricca parte statistica con tutti gli incontri disputati da professionista e i titoli e le prime pagine dei giornali che riportavano gli avvenimenti.
