Pelé—legendary footballer and humanitarian—explores the sport’s recent history and shares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories, and hard-won wisdom.“I know in my heart that soccer was good to me, and great to the world....I saw, time and again, how the sport improved countless millions of lives, both on and off the field. For me, at least, that’s why soccer matters.” The world’s most popular sport goes by many names—soccer, football, the beautiful game—but fans have always agreed on one thing: The greatest player of all time was Pelé. Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, Pelé had a stunning twenty-year career, where he was heralded as an international treasure. His accomplishments on the field proved to be pure magic: an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,283 goals. Since retiring, he has traveled the world as soccer’s global ambassador, relentlessly promoting the positive ways soccer can transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations.This is Pelé’s legacy, his way of passing on everything he’s learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, Pelé details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world.

Propos sur l'echec - Artaud et Breton est un essai prenant pour fil conducteur l' uvre et la personne d'Antonin Artaud qui a considere que plusieurs de ses projets avaient ete des ratages : l'opera pour lequel Edgard Varese lui avait commande un livret ; le recit Heliogabale ou l'Anarchiste couronne ; l'adaptation de la piece Les Cenci de Percy Shelley ; la Conference du Vieux-Colombier ; l'emission radiophonique (interdite d'antenne) Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu... Ses deconvenues et le desordre de son existence semblent en tout point opposes aux reussites et a la vie reglee comme du papier a musique d'Andre Breton a l'entreprise surrealiste duquel il a brievement contribue avant d'en etre exclu, sachant qu'Andre Breton ne parviendra pas a renier jusqu'au bout sa premiere inclination pour Antonin Artaud... A bonne distance toutefois de ce pestifere. Cet essai ne tente pas d'etablir une theorie de l'echec en art, ni une etude empirique methodique, mais se tient au contraire au plus pres de l'experience de son auteur.
