● 內文簡介

拳王阿里(Muhammad Ali, 1942-2016),是不朽的鬥士、社運家、男人中的男人、一個時代最激勵人心的代表人物。

《Muhammad Ali Unfiltered》收錄超過二百幅珍貴照片,許多都是首次公開,加上語錄、遺孀 Lonnie Ali親撰前言、阿里著名激勵人心的演說〈Getting Ready to Meet God〉以及其他相關文獻,向這位傳奇拳手的一生致敬。

阿里從拳擊場躍上世界舞台,以迅捷的腳步移動、出拳,甚至快嘴,超越了拳擊運動。阿里不滿於被偶像化成名流,總是更廣泛地去接觸、認識世界的真實面貌,並致力於讓它成為所有人,而不只是少數人,更好的生存居所。

遺孀Lonnie Ali撰寫的動人前言,搭配阿里的機敏、智慧、無人可比擬的鏡頭魅力,描繪出一個男人努力活出最充實生命的完整面貌,本書揭露前所未見的阿里——拳擊手,信仰者,父親,丈夫,證明一個人也足以改變世界的不朽傳奇。

本書將是阿里(遺產管理人)唯一授權的寫真書。

 

● 作者簡介

Muhammad Ali's core principles of confidence, conviction, dedication, giving, respect, and spirituality guided him and made him one of the most beloved symbols of peace and well-being in America and the world.

First known for boxing, and later for his conscientious stance on the Vietnam War draft, Ali focused his awareness of the needs of his fellow citizens and those in the developing world to direct his good work. In addition to challenging racial and religious preconceptions at home, he served as a symbol of hope and a catalyst for constructive international dialogue, delivered sorely-needed medical supplies to an embargoed Cuba, provided more than 22 million meals to the world’s hungry, and helped secure the release of fifteen U.S. hostages from Iraq during the first Gulf War. The United Nations named him a Messenger of Peace, and he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, as well as Amnesty International’s Lifetime Achievement Award. In September 2012, he was the recipient of the prestigious National Constitution Center Liberty Medal.

Among his many projects, Muhammad cofounded the Muhammad Ali Center with his wife Lonnie, and contributed substantially to the awareness and research efforts regarding Parkinson’s disease.
