Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Thomas B. Allen (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. Picked for their variety and their literary quality, the sixteen unforgettable sport stories collected here range from Ring Lardner's hilarious yarn about a girl-struck rookie pitcher to Bruce Brook's gripping account of racism on a high school basketball court to Gerald Kersh's tragicomic saga of a match between wrestlers born forty years apart. Some of the finest authors of the twentieth century--including Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, John Updike, James Thurber, and William Saroyan--are represented here (as are Toni Cade Bambara, William T. Tilden II, Jay McInerney, Roger Angell, Pedro Juan Soto, Jack London, James D. Houston, and Jay Neugeboren), writing about sports as various as karate, football, boxing, skiing, hunting and horse-racing. Handsome black-and-white drawings by artist Thomas B. Allen bring all the excitement of the action right onto the page. An exemplary, thought-provoking collection, The Random House Book of SPORTS STORIES is a monument to great sports literature. As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. 7 3/4" X 11 1/4". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4714
