Críticas
Stands out like Pele on a field of second-stringers. Perfect for American soccer fans who are looking for a quick snapshot of the highlights and lowlights of this very popular international sport. Galeano delivers a loving tribute to the game and its culture, and a celebration not only of soccer but also of life. Brilliant, lyrical flights of language that, like a player racing down the field in a mad, beautifully executed breakaway, are piercingly and unexpectedly insightful. As only a radical Latin American writer can, Galeano conjures up images of legendary heroes and earth-shaking goals, with heavy-handed swipes at commercialism and class-politics, real-life racism and fascism. It's all here. Everything you should know about soccer, the world's game. This effervescent book, illustrated by the author's spry silhouettes, is a lyrical celebration of the Latin character. Stands out like Pel on a field of second-stringers. "Stands out like Pele on a field of second-stringers."--"The New Yorker"
Reseña del editor
Discussing everything from the leveling of the Twin Towers to the death of the sole survivor of that extraordinary match between British and German soldiers in 1915, one of South America's greatest commentators issues forth on robotic soccer in Japan, the mass-production of the game as a sign of the decline of civilization, the amazing success of Senegal and Turkey, and how Nike beat Adidas.
