A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the early 1960's, before he was known as Muhammad Ali, the young Cassius Clay was photographed by Flip Schulke (himself a young man making a name for himself as a photographer). In photos first published in 'Life' and 'Sports Illustrated' magazines, Schulke presents the younhg Clay in tender, intimate settings that would never be duplicated when the spotlight of fame focused on the young boxer. Clay's warm, exuberant charm beams directly through the lens to reveal a personality of extraordinary confidence and charisma. He became one of the most photographed people in the world, and he is now regarded as the greatest athlete of the century, as well as a role model for young and old. These remarkable photographs show him at the start of his journey and is an essnetial for everyone interested in Ali's legend. Flip Schulke was more than a silent observer, he was a witness to the transformation of Cassius Clay into Muhammad Ali and Schulke's commentary on his photographs gives a penetrating insight into Ali's character.

Revue de presse

Schulke captured that bravado and self-love... the picture of a lifetime... startling images of jabs and hooks. --'Evening Standard'

This fascinating collection of photographs and stories chronicles the transformation of Cassius Clay into Muhammad Ali... these images, particularly those away from the boxing ring, are stunning. --'Knave'
