Las descarnadas, inspiradoras y emocionantes memorias del icono y legendario ganador de varios premios Oscar, Sylvester Stallone, sobre su increÃble camino al estrellato y la mejor historia jamás contada de un ganador contra todo pronóstico. En los cincuenta años transcurridos desde que Sylvester Stallone subió corriendo los escalones del Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, él mismo y esos escalones se han convertido en sÃmbolos de resiliencia y determinación, y han inspirado a millones de personas de todo el mundo para perseguir sus sueños. En Los escalones, Stallone relata cómo persiguió sus propios sueños. Culminando un proceso de reflexión de décadas, Sly cuenta sus orÃgenes -un nacimiento difÃcil, una infancia aún más difÃcil, años de problemas en el colegio por no ser comprendido- y explica cómo la historia real de una vida exitosa se construye afrontando, asumiendo y, en último término, superando nuestras dificultades. La clave está en la distancia que estamos dispuestos a recorrer y en los pasos que debemos dar para pasar de donde estamos a donde queremos llegar. En una narración enmarcada entre su llegada a Nueva York en 1969 y el triunfo de Rocky en los Oscar de 1977, Sly teje un vÃvido y apasionante relato de lucha, subsistencia y, finalmente, éxito. Escribe sobre sus inicios y también sobre los años posteriores, asà como sobre la persistencia, creatividad y resiliencia que lo llevaron no solamente a crear Rocky, sino a labrarse una carrera repleta de papeles icónicos. Los escalones constituyen un testimonio de la extraordinaria vida de Stallone y una profunda meditación sobre la importancia de la fuerza de voluntad, la visión y el trabajo duro. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A gritty, inspiring, heart-wrenching memoir by the Academy Award-winning legend and icon Sylvester Stallone, about his unlikely path to stardom and the creation of the greatest underdog story ever told.
In the fifty years since Sylvester Stallone ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, he and those steps have become symbols of resilience and determination and have inspired millions from all over the world to pursue their dreams. In The Steps, Stallone recounts how he pursued his own dreams. A culmination of decades of reflection, Stallone shares where he came from--a difficult birth, an even more difficult childhood, years of struggle in school being misunderstood--and he explains how the real story of a successful life is built by facing, embracing, and ultimately overcoming our challenges. It's found in the distances we are willing to go and the steps we must take to get from where we are to where we want to go. In a narrative framed between his arrival in New York City in 1969 and the triumph of Rocky at the 1977 Academy Awards, Stallone weaves a vivid and propulsive portrait of struggle, subsistence, and ultimately success. He writes of his early days and later years, too, and the persistence, creativity, and resilience that led not only to the creation of Rocky but to a career filled with remarkably iconic roles. The Steps is a testament to Stallone's extraordinary life and a profound meditation on the importance of vision and willpower and hard work.
