Descripción Soft cover. Condición: NEW - COLLECTIBLE. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW & COLLECTIBLE, showing a whisper of margin discoloration. First Edition, First Printing. Outstanding biography of racehorse Seabiscuit (1933 - 1947), who, despite odds of inauspicious beginnings and handicapped by being short on physical endowment, galloped to championship. His fantastic and improbable successes made him the natural American symbol of hope of all underdogs from the 1930s though 1940s during the Great Depression. Hillenbrand's elegant narrative was adapted to film 2003 and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Lives of his bike repair man and car salesman owner Charles Howard, reclusive trainer Tom Smith, and down-on-his-luck jockey Red Pollard added to Seabiscuit's mystique, drawing multitudes of devoted fans to every race. A wonderous chapter in the often corrupt world of horse racing and dire economic hardships. Nº de ref. del artículo: 015169

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of the runaway phenomenon Unbroken comes a universal underdog story about the horse who came out of nowhere to become a legend. Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail. Three men changed Seabiscuits fortunes: Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the automobile to the western United States and became an overnight millionaire. When he needed a trainer for his new racehorses, he hired Tom Smith, a mysterious mustang breaker from the Colorado plains. Smith urged Howard to buy Seabiscuit for a bargain-basement price, then hired as his jockey Red Pollard, a failed boxer who was blind in one eye, half-crippled, and prone to quoting passages from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Over four years, these unlikely partners survived a phenomenal run of bad fortune, conspiracy, and severe injury to transform Seabiscuit from a neurotic, pathologically indolent also-ran into an American sports icon.Praise for Seabiscuit Fascinating . . .

Macy. Directed by Gary Ross ("Pleasantville"). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780449005613
