Beskrivning
The Brazilian football team is one of the wonders of the modern world and legendary names like Pelé, Garrincha and Ronaldo inspire awe in football-lovers everywhere. But in Latin America’s largest country, football also symbolises racial harmony, the madness of love and the flamboyance of youth – it’s a sport that expresses the identity of a nation.This edition of a book that is now a modern classic, updated to coincide with the 2014 World Cup, explores what makes Brazil the ‘football country’ it is. From the Amazonian jungle to the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Alex Bellos weaves a golden-yellow tapestry of stories of great names, great teams and great matches. Mixing fact with local legend, history and myth, in Futebol he uncovers what makes football the Brazilian way of life.
