Description

Just weeks after completing Enter the Dragon, his first vehicle for a worldwide audience, Bruce Lee - the self-proclaimed world's fittest man - died mysteriously at the age of thirty-two. The film has since grossed over $500 million, making it one of the most profitable in the history of cinema, and Lee has acquired almost mythic status.

Lee's was a flawed, complex yet singular talent. He revolutionized the martial arts and forever changed action movie-making. As in The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Davis Miller brilliantly combines biography - the fullest, most unflinching and revelatory to date - with his own coming-of-age autobiography. The result is a unique and compelling book.



In this companion volume to the critically acclaimed bestseller The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Miller turns to another iconic figure and seminal influence - film star and martial arts legend, Bruce Lee.

About the Author
Davis Miller is the author of The Tao of Muhammad Ali. His writing has appeared in Rolling Stone, Men's Journal, Esquire, Sport magazine, Sports Illustrated, and numerous other periodicals. His first published story, 'My Dinner With Ali', was voted by the Sunday Magazine Editors Association to be the best essay published in a newspaper magazine in the US in 1989.

Reviews
A martial arts Nick Hornby, Miller is illuminating about the ability to transform oneself no matter what the circumstances * The Times *
Easygoing but unflippant, formless yet rigorous. Solid reporting and sumptuous storytelling. Miller's is an American voice attractive to Brits -- Tim Birch * The Guardian *
I loved Davis Miller's The Tao of Bruce Lee, a book about hero worship -- Tony Parsons, author Man and Boy * Daily Mail *
This fantastic second book by Miller runs deeper than an account of the author growing up as a 'karate kid' in the early 1970s. It is equally a study of the nature and role of the hero in popular culture, a poignant and unusual coming-of-age story, and an informative biography of Bruce Lee -- Ted Leventhal * Booklist *
Davis Miller continues to invent a powerful new form of writing -- Richard Martyn * Toronto Star *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
