Bøker av Damon Runyon

First published in 1938, Dancing Dan's Christmas is a witty and evocative tale set in Depression-era New York City.

The Classic Era of American sports comes alive in this collection of witty, insightful stories by a master storyteller. Covering baseball, boxing, and college football, Runyon keeps his eye on the human interest behind the scores and stats, and brings a literary flair to sportswriting that has never been equaled.

Slick, upbeat and funny, these stories inspired the popular musical and film Guys and Dolls. 'Of all the high players this country ever sees, there is no doubt but that the guy they call the Sky is the highest.. He will bet all he has, and nobody can bet any more than this'.

A collection of the stories of Damon Runyon who presents the 1950s world of guys and dolls on Broadway.
