Book: Un Sueno Americano / An American Dream
From one of the most-talked about fighters in the history of boxing, comes a frank and touching memoir about Oscar de la Hoya achieving the American Dream: his rise to the top, the strength of a solid work-ethic the pitfalls of stardom, and as the son of Mexican immigrants, a very personal take on his own Hispanic-American identity.

Oscar De La Hoya, uno de los luchadores mas celebrados en la historia del boxeo, nos brinda su historia franca y conmovedora sobre como logro el Sueno Americano: su ascenso al exito, el poder de una etica de trabajo solida, la dolorosa perdida de su madre al cancer, las trampas del estrellato, asi como una perspectiva muy personal de lo que significa ser americano

Hijo de padres mexicanos, De La Hoya "El Chico de Oro" ha tenido una carrera impresionante. Del boxeo a los negocios, de la industria discografica a los logros caritativos de su fundacion, su exito es testamento de lo que uno puede lograr en los Estados Unidos. Pero, quien es este hombre que ha cambiado tantas vidas; que ha impreso una huella positiva en el boxeo, deporte ante el cual muchos habian perdido toda esperanza; y que se ha convertido en un simbolo de lo que es posible para una comunidad hispana sin demasiados heroes?

"Un Sueno Americano" responde estas preguntas.

Proveniente de una familia de boxeadores, De La Hoya ha vencido a mas de una docena de campeones mundiales y ha ganado seis titulos mundiales y una medalla de oro Olimpica--un momento marcado para siempre en la memoria de cualquiera que ha seguido su larga carrera. Sin embargo, en medio de la voragine de este exito, existia un hombre que se desviaba del camino proyectado dada su profunda confianza en la bondad de aquellos a su alrededor. Este libro es el Chico de Oro y expone sus errores mas desgarradores asi como sus triunfos mas sensacionales.

En su emocionante historia como hijo de inmigrantes--una historia americana por excelencia--hay una cronica de una vida increible que abre una puerta a la vida privada de una figura que, paramuchos, ha alcanzado el estatus de un icono.
