Jesse Owens: Deportistas Que Marcaron Una Diferencia (Athletes Who Made a Difference)


Overview

En el año 1936, Adolf Hitler intentó hacer de los Juegos Olímpicos en Berlín, Alemania, una vidriera para que se aprecie la superioridad nazi, con un estadio nuevo y la primera transmisión televisiva de los Juegos, pero no tuvo en cuenta al velocista y atleta de salto de longitud afroamericano James Cleveland ""Jesse"" Owens, que batió nuevos récords durante toda su carrera en el atletismo. Owens ganó cuatro medallas doradas en las carreras de 100 m, 200 m, la carrera con relevos de 4 × 100 m y el salto de longitud, y trastocó la visión que tenía Hitler para los Juegos Olímpicos. A su paso, rompió o igualó nueve récords olímpicos y marcó tres récords mundiales. Con un estilo de no ficción gráfica, esta biografía lleva a los lectores desde los primeros años de Owen hasta sus triunfos históricos en el atletismo. In 1936, Adolf Hitler attempted to make the Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, a showcase of Nazi superiority with a new stadium and the first television broadcast of the Games. He didn't account for African-American sprinter and long jumper James Cleveland ""Jesse"" Owens, who smashed records throughout his track and field career. Owens turned Hitler's Olympic vision on its head by winning four gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump. Along the way, he broke or equaled nine Olympic records and set three world records. In graphic nonfiction style, this biography takes readers from Owens's early life to his historic athletic triumphs. Now in Spanish!
