Mooney Narrator: William Andrew Quinn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 17 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Genres: Sports Publisher's Summary: The rise and fall of one of America's first Black sports celebrities Isaac Murphy, born enslaved in 1861, still reigns as one of the greatest jockeys in American history. Black jockeys like Murphy were at the top of the most popular sport in America at the end of the nineteenth century. They were internationally famous, the first African American superstar athletes—and with wins in three Kentucky Derbies and countless other prestigious races, Murphy was the greatest of them all. At the same time, he lived through the seismic events of Emancipation and Reconstruction and formative conflicts over freedom and equality in the United States. And inevitably he was drawn into those conflicts, with devastating consequences. Katherine C. Mooney uncovers the history of Murphy's troubled life, his death in 1896 at age thirty-five, and his afterlife. In recounting Murphy's personal story, she also tells two of the great stories of change in nineteenth-century America: the debates over what a multiracial democracy might look like and the battles over who was to hold power in an economy that increasingly resembled the corporate, wealth-polarized world we know today.

Title: Charles Leclerc: A Biography Author: Adam Hay-Nicholls Narrator: Luis Soto Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 34 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Sports Publisher's Summary: From acclaimed journalist Adam Hay-Nicholls, the very first biography of rising star Charles Leclerc. Few of the drivers on the F1 grid have the racing pedigree of Charles Leclerc. Widely regarded as one of the sport's hottest prospects, he was crowned F3 and then F2 champion in back-to-back seasons before he made his F1 debut with Sauber in 2018. Now firmly established as Ferrari's great hope, following in the footsteps of legends Alberto Ascari, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher, Leclerc has his eyes set on becoming world champion. Born in Monaco to a family of comparatively modest means, Leclerc remembers playing with toy cars on a friend's balcony as the best drivers in the world whizzed around the Monte Carlo circuit on the streets below. This early experience inspired him to get behind the wheel, encouraged by his father Hervé, and so began his meteoric rise in the sport. Along the way, he lost his father, his godfather and his best friend - all racing drivers - and this gave Leclerc the inner steel to become a winner. Writer Adam Hay-Nicholls, who has spent much of his career in the Formula One paddock, provides the inside track on this rising star, recounting how he has taken the racing world by storm. And as Leclerc's Ferrari is beginning to fire on all cylinders, will he beat his old rival and adversary Max Verstappen to the world title?

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Johan Cruyff Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 53 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Genres: Sports Publisher's Summary: Pocos han revolucionado el fútbol al nivel que lo ha hecho Johan Cruyff (1947-2016). Nadie al igual que él logró hacerlo como jugador y como entrenador. Con el número 14 al hombro brillaba en la “Naranja Mecánica”, la selección de los Países Bajos dirigida por Rinus Michels que a principios de los ´70 transformó la manera de practicar el deporte más popular del mundo. Entrenando al Barcelona en los ´90 profundizó ese modelo y sentó las bases para lo que sería años después el extraordinario equipo de Guardiola, Messi, Xavi e Iniesta. Así llegó Cruyff a convertirse en sinónimo de juego colectivo obsesivamente trabajado, relevos, tenencia y ataque.
