Boris Becker shot to fame in 1985 when at seventeen years old, he became the youngest player ever to win the men's final at Wimbledon. He went on to win two more Wimbledon titles, and a total of forty-nine singles and fifteen doubles crowns, making him one of the greatest players of the twentieth century. But his life off the court has always attracted as much attention as his triumphs on it.Now, in this remarkably candid and thought-provoking autobiography, Boris Becker tells the real story behind the headlines. He speaks of the seconds before the serve that made him the youngest Wimbledon winner of all time, and of the minutes after being sentenced as a tax evader. He talks about his marriage, his illegitimate daughter, and his painful divorce. He reveals his emotions at the end of his tennis career, and his battles with pills and alcohol. He also shares his memories of the good times, the championship wins, the make-or-break matches, and the highs and lows of life on the international circuit.Boris Becker has written this autobiography not just for his fans but also for his children, that they may one day read the true account of their father's remarkable, and often controversial, life.

The complete series of Boris Beckers early photographs of a divided Berlin, with 55 color and 34 black white plates. With essays by Gerhart Baum and Roswitha Haring.

Tarina sankarista, joka menetti kaiken, selviytyi ja löysi tien uuteen alkuun.Boris Becker, Wimbledonin mestari 17-vuotiaana, kuusinkertainen Grand Slam -voittaja ja entinen miesten kaksinpelin maailmanlistan ykkönen, saavutti tennisurallaan huikeaa menestystä, nousi maailmanmaineeseen ja keräsi merkittävän varallisuuden. Beckerillä oli kaikkea, mutta huhtikuussa 2022 elämä muuttui. Hänet tuomittiin kahdeksi ja puoleksi vuodeksi vankeuteen syytettynä konkurssirikoksista.Sisällä - Voittoja, tappioita ja uusi alku vie lukijan Britannian kahden kovimman vankilan armottomaan arkeen ja selviytymisen julmaan todellisuuteen. Se on tarina yllättävistä ystävyyssuhteista ja sinnikkyyden opettelusta, jotka pitivät Beckerin hengissä. Vailla mainetta ja omaisuutta Becker - vanki A2923EV - joutui selviytymään täysin vieraassa maailmassa, jossa mikään ei tullut helpolla.Becker käy kirjassa armottoman rehellisesti läpi valinnat, jotka veivät hänet vankilaan, ja pohtii menneisyyden virheitä sekä maineen hintaa. Uusien ihmissuhteiden, kovalla työllä hankittujen selviytymistaitojen ja stoalaisen filosofian avulla hän alkaa rakentaa elämäänsä ja murskattua mainettaan uudelleen.1980-luvun puolivälissä tenniksen näyttämölle rynnistänyt Boris Becker valloitti maailman voimakkaalla syötöllään, salamannopeilla reflekseillään ja pelottomalla pelityylillään. Hänestä tuli 17-vuotiaana historian nuorin Wimbledonin mestari vuonna 1985. 1980-luvun lopulla ja 1990-luvun alussa Becker jatkoi tennismaailman hallitsemista ja voitti yhteensä kuusi Grand Slam -mestaruutta, joista kolme Wimbledonissa. Vuonna 2003 hänet nimettiin tenniksen kansainväliseen Hall of Fameen.
