Rreth këtij libri audio
Martyr. Prophet. Hustler. Dealer. Troublemaker. Revolutionary. A BIOGRAPHY BY
As a fourteen-year-old he was Malcolm Little, the president of his class and a top student. At sixteen he
was hustling tips at a Boston nightclub. In Harlem he was known as Detroit Red, a slick street operator. At
nineteen he was back in Boston, leading a gang of burglars. At twenty he was in prison.
It was in prison that Malcolm Little started the journey that would lead him to adopt the name Malcolm X,
and there he developed his beliefs about what being Black means in America.
From streetwise teenager to the militant leader of hundreds of thousands in the Nation of Islam, Malcolm
X was one of the most respected, and most feared, men in American history. Even today, years after his
assassination, young people still listen to his speeches and read his autobiography.
In this forthright and courageous account, Walter Dean Myers, two-time winner of the Newbery Honor
and four-time winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, depicts a complex man whose life reflected the major
issues of our times.

He dropped out of high school and enlisted in the Army at the age of 17. After completing his army service, he took a construction job and continued to write. He entered and won a 1969 contest sponsored by the Council on Interracial Books for Children, which led to the publication of his first book, Where Does the Day Go? During his lifetime, he wrote more than 100 fiction and nonfiction books for children and young adults. His works include Fallen Angels, Bad Boy, Darius and Twig, Scorpions, Lockdown, Sunrise Over Fallujah, Invasion, Juba!, and On a Clear Day. He also collaborated with his son Christopher, an artist, on a number of picture books for young readers including We Are America: A Tribute from the Heart and Harlem, which received a Caldecott Honor Award, as well as the teen novel Autobiography of My Dead Brother. He was the winner of the first-ever Michael L. Printz Award for Monster, the first recipient of the Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement, and a recipient of the Margaret A.
