En 1909 Italia era un país recién hecho. Una de las ideas más rocambolescas para terminar de cuajarlo fue precisamente el Giro, un desfile de vampiros, saltimbanquis, lunáticas, fascistas, partisanos, piratas y caníbales que pasó rodando desde los Alpes hasta Sicilia ante la puerta de millones de italianos. Y los unió alrededor de la épica, la tragedia y la comedia del ciclismo.

Desde los inicios de la civilización china, hasta nuestros días, el kung-fu transmite una filosofía arcana y múltiples técnicas de combate que, a través del cine, han maravillado al mundo entero. La Breve historia de kung-fu nos descubre la apasionante historia de las artes marciales chinas, unas técnicas de combate que datan más o menos de los tiempos de Fu Xi en el 2.800 A. C.

El Rayo Vallecano es de los últimos equipos de barrio que pueden encontrarse en España. Este hecho lo ha dotado de una particular idiosincrasia que se refleja en este audiolibro, en el que se habla de fútbol, pero también de ideología, de historia y de una ciudad. 

El audiolibro cuenta la meritoria historia del Deportivo de La Coruña, el equipo de fútbol que en los años noventa se ganó el cariño de los aficionados españoles por sus heroicas gestas en la Liga y en la Copa del Rey. El equipo, gracias a la ambiciosa gestión de su presidente, incluso llegó a codearse con la realeza del fútbol europeo.      

«El Celta rozó la hazaña», se pudo leer en todas las crónicas deportivas. Si el roce hace el cariño, la hazaña debe de querer muchísimo al Celta porque llevamos décadas rozándola, acariciándola y haciéndole cosquillitas en el sofá. A la hazaña, estoy segura, le hemos provocado algún que otro orgasmo. 

No recuerdo cuándo dejé el fútbol. Solo sé que un tiempo después aprendí a controlar el balón con las figuras metálicas de un futbolín. A pocos metros del colegio, en un bar de La Maruca, había uno extraordinario, de madera maciza y mangos que se movían como pistones, mangos pegajosos. Las bolas tenían muescas. La última vale doble en caso de empate. Pasar por debajo al dejar al otro a cero. Cervezas en botellín. Vestidos. Los primeros móviles. Mejillones en salsa para doce. Cigarros.

In Boston Celtics: Where Have You Gone? fans can catch up with their favorite players from past and present.

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.

ECW was one extreme contradiction piled on top of another. It was an incredibly influential company in the world of professional wrestling during the 1990s, yet it was never profitable. It portrayed itself as the ultimate in anti-authority rebellion, but its leadership was, at various points, working covertly with the two wrestling giants, the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. Most of all, it blurred the line between real life and the fantasy world of professional wrestling like no other company before it.

The inside story of the most colorful decade in NFL history - pro football's raging, hormonal, hairy, druggy, immortal adolescence. Between the Immaculate Reception in 1972 and The Catch in 1982, pro football grew up. In 1972, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts, painkillers, legal steroids, fury, and camaraderie. A decade later, Joe Montana's gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate, scripted, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today.

The iconic captain Brendon McCullum, England's T20 visionaries Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler and Trinidad's Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine, who rose to become among the first T20 millionaires, explain how they shaped T20 - and how it shaped them. Test greats Rahul Dravid and Ricky Ponting recount what a sea-change T20 represented and decode T20 strategy. AB de Villiers explores the limits of modern batting. Venky Mysore, the cricket revolutionary you have never heard of, reveals how the game is changing off the field. 

"Un dio ti guarda" non è un testo di sport. È un audiolibro di epica. Sandro Veronesi non racconta dei personaggi dello sport, ma dei pezzi di storia, della nostra storia. Eroi, semidei osannati dalle folle e consacrati dalla mitologia, accanto a sconosciuti uomini e donne che pure hanno attraversato stadi, campi di calcio, di tennis, l'aria e il mare e le terre estreme.

In this newly revised edition of Chuck Carlson’s Game of My Life Green Bay Packers, the greatest men to don that green and yellow uniform talk about the best, the most important, and the most entertaining game they ever played. Was it during the immortal "Ice Bowl" of 1967, when Bart Starr snuck across the goal line in the withering cold of Lambeau Field to beat the Dallas Cowboys? Or was it the NFC championship win over the Carolina Panthers in 1997 that sent the Packers back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 30 years?

Brera, Caminiti, Ciotti, Biscardi, Mura, Cannavò, Raro, Sconcerti, Fossati, Zavoli, De Zan. È la formazione di una delle tante possibili nazionali. Non di calcio, ma di chi il calcio e gli altri sport ha raccontato. Una generazione di giornalisti italiani unica al mondo. Privilegiati, perché hanno brillato di splendore riflesso, viaggiato più degli inviati di esteri, mangiato e bevuto come nessuno. Hanno però anche saputo meritarselo, inventando un modo di raccontare e, talvolta, anche quel che (non) c'era da raccontare.

These days, swimming may seem like the most egalitarian of pastimes, open to anyone with a swimsuit - but this wasn't always the case. In the 19th century, swimming was exclusively the domain of men, and access to pools was a luxury limited by class. Women were (barely) allowed to swim in the sea, as long as no men were around, but even into the 20th century they could be arrested and fined if they dared dive into a lake. It wasn't until the 1930s that women were finally granted equal access.

Dopo aver raccontato come amavano i romani e i greci, in che modo vivevano politica e religione, nascita e morte, qual era la struttura della società, delle case e delle famiglie, Eva Cantarella non poteva far mancare agli ascoltatori - nell'anno dei Giochi di Rio de Janeiro - una storia delle Olimpiadi antiche.

Who was Maurice the man, and who was Mad Dog the character? Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon was a gold medalist, a pro-wrestling legend, and a pop culture icon - but he was also a son, husband, and father. Mad Dog explores Vachon's career and personal struggles with painstakingly detailed historical research and through both Maurice's own recollections and those of the people who knew him best.

Father David Bauer changed lives - at the rink, in the classroom, and at the pulpit. Bauer's dream created the first truly national Canadian hockey team. In 1963 that unique group represented Canada abroad and were committed to both country and to Father Bauer. Whether shepherding the hockey program at St. Michael's College in Toronto or the men's national team out of the University of British Columbia, Bauer was both spiritual leader and trailblazer.
