Reseña del editor Portrays Robinson's career from a new perspective--that of an adoring nine-year-old fan who saw him play up close, at Ebbets Field. Through this boy's eyes, we see how the borough of Brooklyn embraced Jackie Robinson, the man and the player, as their own. Nota de la solapa 'A fresh and insightful retelling, Lelchuk's Robinson is both biography and history that implicitly reinterprets cosmopolitan Brooklyn as the crucible of the Civil Rights movement during its formative decade, 1947-1957.' --Martin Sherwin, author of the Pulitzer Prize winner, 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer' 'Alan Lelchuk's moving retelling of Jackie Robinson's life as a Brooklyn folk legend will decisively alter the settled understanding of the changes Robinson brought about in Americans and in their national pastime.' --Donald Pease, author of 'The New American Exceptionalism' and 'Theodore Seuss Geisel' '[Lelchuk's] own powers as a novelist are handsomely on display, remembering a man, a hero, and things past, in a style that is itself poetic.' --William H. Pritchard, author of 'Frost: A Literary Life Reconsidered' 'What makes ['Breaking Ground'] so unique is how the author showcases how Robinson's dignity, humanity, and athletic skill eventually made a difference throughout the nation, not just in one borough.' --Jorge Iber, Sports historian and author of 'More Than Just Peloteros: Sport and U.S. Latino Communities' Biografía del autor Alan Lelchuk was born and raised in Brooklyn, attended public schools and Brooklyn College for his B.A. (1960) in World Literature and Stanford University for his graduate degrees in English (M.A. 1963, Ph.D.. 1965).
