Anthony, Tony

Opis

This fast-paced, compelling and chilling account is the deeply moving story of a three-time Kung Fu World Champion. With fascinating insight into the traditions of Chinas martial arts, it documents the abusive upbringing that turned a four-year old child into a hardened, professional killer. From China to Europe and across the Mediterranean, we follow Tony as he becomes an elite bodyguard, protecting some of the worlds most powerful people. Following personal tragedy, Tonys extreme discipline and the philosophy of his art is quickly turned. He begins to use his skills for illegal means and highly destructive, bloodthirsty pleasure. Eventually incarcerated in Cyprus, Tony hits rock bottom. Through the visits of a stranger, he is introduced to the reality and life-changing power of a Savior. Though the prison walls hold him, he finds himself a free man. This is just the beginning of a complex and fascinating testimony.托尼•安东尼是个无所畏惧的人。作为三届功夫世界冠军，他充满自信、能力出众、武艺超群。曾经有一条金光大道摆在他的眼前：作为顶级的贴身保镖，他曾经往来全球各地，为世界上最富有、最有权势和最有影响力的人担任保卫工作。托尼的人生历程跌宕起伏，有时甚至让人毛骨悚然。这部畅销作品的情节，比任何奇幻或是小说都更加不同寻常，令人难以置信。本书除了精彩地呈现了中华武术的博大精深与保镖生涯的出生入死之外，还记录了一个人如何从“寻求超脱的弟子”沦落成嗜血的暴徒；如何从一个生不如死的阶下囚，成长为谦卑、顺服的人。
