From the shoe stores in old Burnazi to the big boxing gyms of Los Angeles. How rare, how tragic but at the same time how optimistic is it to bear the title: "Olympic champion - shoemaker"? A book taken from the soul of George Stefanopoulos, the best and unsurpassed Greek boxer of the last decades, in which he is not afraid to reveal his most extreme experiences.
The Greek "Rocky" describes the fateful plot of his career and his life. A compelling narrative entices you to climb into the ring, to break out with him, to feel the feeling of victory and defeat and from the top of the world rankings to sit back with him on the tables. The magic is that it arouses in you an irresistible desire to identify with him, to fight and eventually win with him, without having ever had the slightest connection with boxing. This book makes you wonder from the start: how does a child accidentally open a door and find themselves where they are supposed to be? Luck; Destiny; How big is today the landslide of values so that from the triumphant reception and the demolition of the walls in antiquity, we reached the discrediting of an Olympian by a corroded state?
Could the book be called an ancient tragedy? Maybe... the only thing that is certain is that the reader will fight, hurt in and out of the ring and in the end will confirm that "everything happens for a reason".
