Ci sono piloti che vincono, altri che restano nella Storia. Ma c'è un solo pilota che nel ricordo fa ancora battere il cuore. Ayrton Senna è stato l'ultimo mito di un'era romantica e sentimentale. Era un sognatore, dei sognatori aveva l'ingenuità e la ferocia. Reggeva l'aura del predestinato, serbava la malinconia dell'eroe solitario, coltivava il fascino irresistibile di chi è di tutti senza appartenere mai a nessuno, offriva il profilo al destino che si stava compiendo. Raccontarlo oggi - scartando la banale contabilità dei trionfi - significa tornare a recitare un atto di fede.

Andrea Pirlo is one of the finest footballers of his generation - a World Cup and Champions League winning playmaker who has redefined his position at the base of midfield, and one of the most deadly free-kick takers the game has known. This is his story, in his words. It is written with a level of humour and insight which confound his image as a dead-eyed assassin on the field of play.

Subcampeón es una autobiografía desternillante y cruda, entre la comedia y la angustia. Se lee como un tobogán: rápido, divertido y con un poco de miedo. Con diecinueve años, Zuhaitz Gurrutxaga cumplió el sueño de su vida: debutar con la Real Sociedad en Primera División. La perla de la cantera guipuzcoana cautivó a los aficionados y a la prensa, pero empezó a sentir cada vez más presión: "Tenía mucho miedo a fallar en el campo. Llegué a odiar el fútbol por todo lo que me hacía sufrir". Una noche de verano se le voló la cabeza y creyó que se había vuelto loco para siempre.

"Kiss or kill. Besa o mata. Besa la glòria o mor en intentar-ho. Perdre és morir, guanyar és sentir. La lluita és el que diferencia una victòria, un vencedor." Un fora de sèrie. Un heroi. Una persona extraordinària. Kilian Jornet és l'actual campió mundial de skyrunning, una de les proves físiques més dures del planeta.

It is likely not terribly surprising that surfers like to party. The 1960-'70s image, bolstered by Tom Wolfe and Big Wednesday, was one of mild outlaws. Tanned boys who refused to grow up, spending their days drinking beer and smoking joints on the beach in between mindless hours in the water. As the surf brands accidentally morphed into a multimillion- then multibillion-dollar industry beginning in the 1980s, however, the derelict portrait began to harm business.

Le gare non sono mai state una passeggiata per me, ma quella lotta all’ultimo respiro io la cercavo. Se capivo di dover entrare in acqua e combattere alla morte, l’adrenalina mi scorreva ed ero felice. La condizione ideale per gareggiare era sentirmi un animale braccato. La sera prima di una gara quasi non mangiavo. Era la tensione, certo, ma anche un modo di prepararsi all’assalto, come il lupo che prima di andare a caccia per affrontare la lotta digiuna, dimagrisce. La fame o l’inappetenza non erano solo forme nervose, ma manifestazioni di un atavico istinto al combattimento.

"Quiero compartir lo que sé, lo que aprendí del juego y del deporte en general, y hacerlo no solo con los que aman el fútbol, sino también con aquellos a los que este maravilloso deporte no les es familiar, pero que también se preguntan cómo triunfar en la vida, cómo guiar y liderar un equipo hacia la victoria y de las lecciones que se aprenden de la derrota."

There has been much said about Dusty Rhodes, the 'American Dream', over the years by both his fans and peers. Aside from the frequent fictional prose penned by wrestling magazine journalists and internet smart marks that run rumor-mill websites, however, there has not been much written about him. Until now. With the exception of a select few, there has been no bigger name or personality in the annals of pro wrestling history than Dusty Rhodes.

Borja Bauzá no escribe de oídas. Él mismo formó parte de una banda ultra en su juventud, y para escribir este libro ha pasado años recorriendo España de norte a sur y de este a oeste para entrevistarse con docenas de hooligans de todas las aficiones y de todas las ideologías. Este no es un libro denuncia ni un libro blanqueador. Es una enciclopedia sociológica, cultural y política de un fenómeno de masas desde sus orígenes en los años 70 hasta el día de hoy, pasando por el caos de los años 80, el salvajismo de los años 90 y la sofisticación que llegó a partir del 2000 con las nuevas tecnologías.

The 1989 Ironman World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports. In a spectacular duel that became known as the Iron War, the world's two strongest athletes raced side by side at world-record pace for a grueling 139 miles. Driven by one of the fiercest rivalries in triathlon, Dave Scott and Mark Allen raced shoulder to shoulder through Ironman’s 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record - and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.

Due to his achievements as a player and manager, as well as his sterling character, Gil Hodges deserves to be in the Hall of Fame more than any other player. A towering figure during the Golden Era of the 1950s, Hodges was the Brooklyn Dodgers’ powerful first baseman who, alongside Jackie Robinson, helped drive his team to six pennants and a thrilling World Series victory in 1955.

Olympian and World Champion Caster Semenya is finally ready to share the vivid and heartbreaking story of how the world came to know her name. Thrust into the spotlight at just 18 years old after winning the Berlin World Championships in 2009, Semenya’s win was quickly overshadowed by criticism and speculation about her body, and she became the center of a still-raging firestorm about how gender plays out in sports, our expectations of female athletes, and the right to compete as you are.

When the federal government catches hotshot financial adviser Louis Martin “Marty” Blazer defrauding his NFL-player clients, it’s time to come clean. He has no reasonable defense. What he has is a bigger story to spill to the feds—that of a multibillion-dollar conspiracy that exploits the most talented college athletes and implicates one of the most popular entertainment industries in the nation. The DOJ is listening, and the truth could literally set Marty free. All he has to do is prove that the NCAA is a vast ongoing scam.

Chris Bonington è uno dei più grandi alpinisti al mondo. A più di ottant’anni, non smette ancora di affrontare le cime e se stesso: la montagna è per lui sfida, ricerca del limite, senso della vita. In questa autobiografia racconta la sua storia straordinaria: la famiglia, da cui eredita il temperamento avventuroso; la madre, una donna forte, coraggiosa, anticonformista, che lo alleva con tenerezza e determinazione durante gli anni della guerra; l’attrazione per le vette, un magnete irresistibile che lo allontana prima dalla carriera militare e poi da quella nel marketing, reclamandolo a sé come unico scopo dell’esistenza.

"Il mio professore Alberto Garutti ripeteva sempre: “Siete l’unica generazione che può viaggiare con pochi euro, dovete andare, scoprire, conoscere... L’Accademia non si fa in aula, si fa respirandone l’esperienza nel mondo”. Queste parole mi illuminarono e mi fecero capire che dovevo muovermi, partire da Lambrate, dalla realtà quotidiana fatta di sogni giganti seduti su delle panchine, perché da quelle panchine qualcuno prima o poi si deve alzare." E così ha fatto Omar Hassan, figlio della periferia multietnica dell’hinterland milanese, padre egiziano e madre milanese.
