“Althea Gibson” is more than just a literary monument to two heroines, and one of the most famous tennis players in the world above all it’s a guidebook for anyone who has ever been excluded by society. Just do it! A great book with a generous 400 pages. The victory of these two outsiders shook the sporting world to its foundations.By the end of her career, Althea Gibson had disputed eleven Grand Slam titles.
The only exception: Angela Buxton, granddaughter of Russian Jews, who was also no stranger to prejudice.Īnd although the two women had never trained together, they won the women’s doubles. At Wimbledon in 1956, no one wanted to play with her in the women’s doubles.

She began to attract attention as an athlete while she was still at school, and she became a professional tennis player in the 1950s. But due to strict racial segregation, she suffered continuous discrimination. But it’s actually about two women who refused to allow intolerance, racism and bigotry to triumph.Īlthea Gibson was born in 1927 on a cotton farm in South Carolina (USA), the daughter of labourers. Bruce Schoenfield’s biography “Althea Gibson” is every bit as gripping as a novel. Until 1950 she wasn’t allowed to play against white people, then she was the first black person to win Wimbledon. Nevertheless, real fans of the director of the century know how the story continues. “ Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” is on solid ground and shows that Tarantino is a truly good author first and foremost, especially when it comes to dialogue. We were a little disappointed with how Tarantino changed the ultra-violent ending. But the book is different: an exciting departure from the film version, fresh, entertaining and simply magnificent from beginning to end. And yes, Tarantino already released “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” as a film in 2019, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Actress Sharon Tate is living with her husband, Roman Polanski, in the Hollywood Hills, and Charles Manson is planning a grisly deed with his strung-out hippies. Rick Dalton is a fading actor, Cliff Booth is his notorious stunt double. Star director Quentin Tarantino has written his first book. A classic of world literature that you really should have read. This work shines with extravagantly infernal farce, quirky Gothic tales, whimsical pirate adventures, and witty horror stories. The well-known American author Edgar Allan Poe played a decisive role in shaping the short story genre, as well as crime fiction and horror stories.Although you would hardly believe it, he also had a great sense of humour. In his early work “The Tales of the Folio Club”, we see Edgar Allan Poe not as tragically demonic and brooding, but as a funny young author who enjoys delving into the great world of literature. Let’s start with the king of spooky stories, Edgar Allan Poe. We’ve selected some of these new releases for you and would like to briefly introduce them here. 2021 heralded the release of many exciting books: novels, biographies, short stories, photo volumes and poems.
