Description

Basketball: The Impossible CollectionDeze Assouline Ultimate Basketball The Ultimate Collection neemt je mee de basketbal wereld in. In wezen is basketbal eenvoudig. Alles wat je nodig hebt is een bal en een hoepel. Elke verharding is uiteraard voldoende. Een volledig team van vijf tegen vijf is zelfs niet eens nodig. Maar als het om de National Basketball Association gaat, is de sport allesbehalve eenvoudig. Het stuiteren van een bal. De zwiep van het net. Het gebrul van het publiek.

Deze Assouline Ultimate Basketball The Ultimate Collection neemt je mee de basketbal wereld in. In wezen is basketbal eenvoudig. Alles wat je nodig hebt is een bal en een hoepel. Elke verharding is uiteraard voldoende. Een volledig team van vijf tegen vijf is zelfs niet eens nodig. Maar als het om de National Basketball Association gaat, is de sport allesbehalve eenvoudig. Het stuiteren van een bal. De zwiep van het net. Het gebrul van het publiek. Alles wordt nog spectaculairder als deze reuzen onder de mensen het veld betreden. Misschien wel de enige keer dat het woord “simpel” gebruikt kan worden om de NBA te beschrijven.

Deze nieuwste toevoeging aan Assouline's prachtige Ultimate collection neemt je mee met de 100 belangrijkste momenten in de geschiedenis van de NBA. In Basketball: The Impossible Collection vertelt gerenommeerd journalist Howard Beck over onvergetelijke gebeurtenissen. Deze gebeurtenissen zijn zowel op en buiten het veld. De teksten worden vergezeld van inspirerende beelden die de impact van de competitie over de hele wereld laten zien. Dit prachtige Assouline boek zit in een rubberen clamshell met reliëf die lijkt op de iconische oranje basketbal. Het boek en is uiteraard gevuld met NBA-legendes. Enkele voorbeelden? Van Wilt Chamberlain tot Michael Jordan, van Allen Iverson tot LeBron James. En natuurlijk staat dit boek vol met alles van backboard-brekende dunks tot kampioenschap-winnende buzzer beaters.

One of the most original and moving books of poems I've ever read
Format: Paperback
Ilya Kaminsky is practically a legend, at this point, and deservedly so. This is his second book of poems, and proves well worth the wait. The individual poems are beautiful and strange; together, they comprise a kind of allegory for our times, and manage to be both somehow light-of-heart, somehow luminous, and also seriously profound. I would recommend this book even to those who don't usually read poetry, because it's beyond poetry, truly.

Beautifully written and good quality book
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I received the book earlier than the estimated date. I love this poem collection of Ilya Kaminsky. Although it describes the social unrest in an unknown place (and unfamiliar to me), his poems are beautifully written with strong images and music. THe paper quality and the book are so new and lovely. I couldn't think that it is used (as it stated).

Life: A challenge in many ways in all cultures
Format: Kindle
I heard Ilya Kaminsky read his poems at Chautauqua this past summer. Over powering and dynamic to hear his voice speak his words... about his life experiences need to be remembered. A must read and if possible with the audio.

A brilliant poetic narrative whose lines leap off the pages which turn themselves.
Format: Paperback
When you get to the end, you wonder how Kaminsky worked his wondrous magic, how it's possible to think and write poetry like that. The poem is a story about Vasenka, a mythical town somewhere in the Ukraine, occupied by the Soviet army during an unspecified period of time. It is an allegory of the cruelty of occupation, the futility of the resistance of a few, and the deafness of the silent majority, a deafness that courageously resists the occupation and a deafness that hardens the heart and ignores the evil surrounding them. It could have happened anywhere anytime. The occupiers could have been Nazis, Ottoman Turks, American, English, or Spanish. The poetry is piercingly sharp, visionary, breathless and the metaphors are the likes of which you've never heard before, lines like “the sound we do not hear lifts the gulls off the water,” “Our hearing doesn't weaken, but something silent in us strengthens,” or “In these avenues, deafness is our only barricade.” This is drop-dead beautiful poetry.

Haunting Humanity lurks in war’s reactions.
Format: Kindle
The poem moves efficiently through the myriad experiences that result from deadly conflict with a nameless and menacing enemy. I kept thinking I was reading a rendering of Kafka with the haunting glimpses of the horror of permanent victim hood. Now I must study the Deaf Republic and hope for understanding.
