Soccer in Sun and Shadow by Eduardo Galeano
This revised edition of Eduardo Galeano's riveting commentary on the history and politics of soccer includes newly written material on the 2002 World Cup, which one quarter of humanity watched.
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* Time Out New York *
Brilliant lyrical flights of language that, like a player racing down the field in a mad, beautifully executed breakaway, are piercingly and unexpectedly insightful. * Village Voice Literary Supplement *
Galeano delivers a loving tribute to the game and its culture, and a celebration not only of soccer but also of life. * San Francisco Chronicle *
Perfect for American soccer fans who are looking for a quick snapshot of the highlights and lowlights of this very popular international sport. * Publishers Weekly *
Stands out like Pele on a field of second-stringers. * The New Yorker *
This effervescent book, illustrated by the author's spry silhouettes, is a lyrical celebration of the Latin character. * Boston Globe *
