Description

This well-worn copy of Roger Kahn’s seminal work “The Boys of Summer” bears the marks of a book that has been read and treasured over the years. First published in 1972, this masterpiece of sports literature transcends the game of baseball to explore themes of youth, age, and the inexorable march of time. Kahn’s lyrical prose and intimate portraits of the 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers, including legends like Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese, have cemented this book’s place in the canon of great American writing. While the cover shows signs of love and use, the unmarked pages and secure binding ensure that this copy can continue to transport readers back to a bygone era, when the Dodgers captured the hearts of a nation and the game itself seemed to embody the hopes and dreams of a post-war generation.
