{"product_id":"sting-like-a-bee-jos-torres-9780803220560","title":"Sting Like a Bee: The Muhammad Ali Story","description":"Writers have long been attracted to boxing. Hemingway, Mailer, Algren, Plimpton, Oates, and many others have stepped into the ring--at least in spirit--to give voice to an otherwise wordless sport, to celebrate that \"sweet science,\" and to bear witness to its romance and tragedy. In this acclaimed book, hailed by Norman Mailer as an \"impressive event,\" we are brought for the first time into the ring for a close-up look at the \"manly art\" through the eyes of José Torres, a man who was a great boxer himself. When former light-heavyweight world champion Torres traded in his gloves for a typewriter, boxing finally found its eyewitness. \u003cbr\u003eIn the classic \u003ci\u003eSting Like a Bee\u003c\/i\u003e, Torres turns his well-trained eye on one of the most celebrated and controversial athletes of all time: Muhammad Ali. In this penetrating view of Ali and the world of prizefighting, told by a true insider and \"boxing's Renaissance man,\" Torres delivers exciting and explicit accounts of all of Ali's major fights with the cool authenticity of one who has lived it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Torres, Bert Randolph Sugar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803220561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803220560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.48w x 0.47d","brand":"José Torres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981246333183,"sku":"9780803220560","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_703890d3-54b6-468a-8950-44cad63e21b2.jpg?v=1683254463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sting-like-a-bee-jos-torres-9780803220560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
