Grazie al suo ruolo da protagonista nei tre film di Superman, Christopher Reeve si è identificato così tanto con il supereroe che non è stato visto solo come l'attore che ha interpretato Superman, è stato Superman. Ecco perché il tragico incidente a cavallo che lo ha lasciato paralizzato dal collo in giù ha scioccato il mondo. Superman non era sovrumano. È anche il motivo per cui ora è la persona più riconoscibile al mondo su una sedia a rotelle. In vero stile da supereroe, Christopher Reeve si rifiuta di rassegnarsi alla vita da tetraplegico e sta attivamente facendo una campagna per aumentare il profilo delle vittime di lesioni al midollo spinale e della ricerca. Sebbene inizialmente gli fosse stato detto che sarebbe stato in grado di muovere solo la testa, ora riesce a scrollare le spalle e respirare da solo per periodi di tempo sempre più lunghi ed è determinato a camminare di nuovo. È questo straordinario coraggio e determinazione che ha reso Christopher Reeve la figura ammirata a livello internazionale che è, ed è questo coraggio che rende questa autobiografia sulla sua paralisi e il suo viaggio verso la guarigione una storia così potente e commovente.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn't just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world's most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Codice articolo GOR000108181
