Oto opowieść o niezwykłej odwadze i wytrwałości w obliczu jednej z najokrutniejszych wojen w historii świata. Bohater tej wstrząsającej powieści, Valentino Achak Deng, był jednym z tysięcy dzieci zwanych Straconymi Chłopcami, kt�rzy musieli opuścić wioski w Sudanie i przewędrować tysiące mil na własnych nogach.

In this extraordinary memoir, emotions intertwine, allowing readers to laugh and cry simultaneously. After the death of their parents, Bill, Beth, and the narrator grapple with loss and anger. Bill, at twenty-four, opts for peace amidst the chaos, while Beth and the narrator, both fueled by rage, engage in conflicts with anyone around them. They seek to reclaim their lives in California, driven by a reckless determination to reinvent themselves. The narrator and young Toph, with his playful demeanor, embrace a sense of responsibility to reshape their world. This reckless exhilaration stems from a belief that life is unpredictable; having lost their parents, they feel anything is possible, for better or worse. Their experiences in San Francisco are marked by a mix of absurdity and ambition, as they navigate a landscape filled with eccentricity and a desire to break boundaries. Amidst this, they confront their energy and restlessness, contemplating the duality of wanting connection and the urge to escape. The memoir captures this tumultuous journey of youth, grief, and the quest for identity in a vibrant, chaotic world.

Writing about boxing means writing about oneself, compelling us to explore not only the sport but the very boundaries of civilization—what it means or should mean to be 'human.'

It offers a comprehensive portrait of the greatest boxer of our time, tracing the champion's journey from challenging beginnings to the heights of the ring, delving into both his sporting and personal experiences.
