Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luciano Wernicke ha reunido en este sorprendente libro las curiosidades más divertidas e increíbles ocurridas en los Mundiales de Fútbol desde la edición inaugural, Uruguay 1930, hasta Rusia 2018. Récords, grandes duelos, cábalas enigmáticas y estrellas inolvidables componen esta obra deliciosa que echa luz sobre el costado humano del más popular de los deportes. El apasionante recorrido relata, entre otras, la historia de los jugadores que se negaron a abandonar la cancha a pesar de tener un hueso fracturado o haber sufrido un infarto. También la del talentoso mosquetero que antepuso la belleza por sobre el resultado al picar un penal en una final y el honor sobre la trampa al cabecear a un desleal rival lenguaraz. Y la de la pareja que se separó tras una fuerte discusión sobre si Lionel Messi era mejor que Cristiano Ronaldo y la que se arrojó a un río repleto de cocodrilos en una extravagante misión: ganarse entradas para un partido. Un libro imperdible para los fanáticos del evento futbolero número uno: la Copa del Mundo.
Download or read book Historias secretas de los mundiales written by Alejandro Fabbri and published by Capital Intelectual. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ochenta y cuatro años no son poca cosa y diecinueve mundiales tampoco. La lista de hechos curiosos, ridículos, increíbles y secretos es muy extensa y la idea al hacer este libro fue contar aquellos que se conocen poco, refrescar algunos que han sido históricos y merecen revivirse, además de hurgar en archivos poco leídos o directamente ignorados. A partir de una exhaustiva investigación, Alejandro Fabbri da cuenta de muchas de esas situaciones: desde el primer boicot, a Uruguay en 1930, pasando por epopeyas personales, auges y caídas de distintos equipos, hasta tragedias aéreas, presiones políticas y complots contra países o determinados grupos. También hay espacio para personajes inolvidables que troncharon sus vidas por el destino, la fatalidad o errores humanos. Y, por supuesto, para el análisis de la particular forma que tenemos los argentinos de ver nuestros éxitos y fracasos. Todos los ingredientes y condimentos en ocho décadas de historias, algunas agrias y otras dulces, llamativas o exitosas, con la autoría de un profesional como Alejandro Fabbri quien no solo ha consolidado una sólida carrera como periodista deportivo sino que ha producido libros de enorme éxito de lectores como sus Historias negras del fútbol argentino o la El nacimiento de una pasión continental, editados por esta misma casa editorial. Este es un libro como para dejar claro que el fútbol es único también en sus narraciones y que es fundamentalmente una pasión.
Download or read book Football and International Relations under Francoism 1937 1975 written by Juan Antonio Simón and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shines a light on the specific role football played in relation to the international relations of the Franco regime in mid-twentieth-century Spain. In the 35 years of the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, sport, specifically football as the main mass sport, was often used as a tool at the service of the political and diplomatic interests of the regime, and this volume analyses how Franco's government, mainly through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, used football as part of its foreign policy strategy to promote the international image of the dictatorship. Prestige international tours and friendly matches, the European successes of Real Madrid CF and of the national team and the organisation of sporting events such as the 1964 European Nations Cup were used as instruments to strengthen the country's geopolitical interests. This book responds to an important bibliographical gap that exists in relation to both research on Franco's regime and the study of the role that sport played under Franco and in comparison with other totalitarian regimes such as fascism and Nazism. Football and International Relations under Francoism, 1937–1975 is an ideal resource for academics in sports history, football history and international relations studies, as well as those with an interest in Spanish history and the study of totalitarianism in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved. Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies' man. He is also a Jew. On the first transport of men from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tatowierer - the tattooist - to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, who steals his heart at first glance. His life given new purpose, Lale does his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good. This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating, and unforgettable. 'Morris climbs into the dark miasma of war and emerges with an extraordinary tale of the power of love' - Leah Kaminsky

Book excerpt: PURA BELPRÉ HONOR BOOK ALA NOTABLE BOOK “An important, must-have addition to the growing body of literature with immigrant themes.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Twelve-year-old Jaime makes the treacherous and life-changing journey from his home in Guatemala to live with his older brother in the United States in this “powerful and timely” (Booklist, starred review) middle grade novel. Jaime is sitting on his bed drawing when he hears a scream. Instantly, he knows: Miguel, his cousin and best friend, is dead. Everyone in Jaime’s small town in Guatemala knows someone who has been killed by the Alphas, a powerful gang that’s known for violence and drug trafficking. Anyone who refuses to work for them is hurt or killed—like Miguel. With Miguel gone, Jaime fears that he is next. There’s only one choice: accompanied by his cousin Ángela, Jaime must flee his home to live with his older brother in New Mexico. Inspired by true events, The Only Road is an individual story of a boy who feels that leaving his home and risking everything is his only chance for a better life. The story is “told with heartbreaking honesty,” Booklist raved, and “will bring readers face to face with the harsh realities immigrants go through in the hope of finding a better, safer life, and it will likely cause them to reflect on what it means to be human.”
Download or read book Football in the Americas written by Rory Miller and published by University of London Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football (soccer in the United States) has a long history in the Americas, but it currently displays many signs of crisis. In South America the combination of spectator violence, poor business management, and the emigration of players is undermining professional football. In the United States, in contrast, a professional league (Major League Soccer) has taken root in the last decade, and the U.S. women's team has gained international success. Football has always provided its players and fans with identity and belonging, whether to a nation or to a particular social group. It has been both a vehicle for the politically ambitious and an arena in which citizens can make sense of national failings and contest existing power structures. This volume explores many of these themes. The fifteen essays range widely, with theoretical and empirical contributions on the region as whole, as well as chapters specifically on Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and the United States.

Download or read book COVID 19 TOLD THROUGH FOOTBALL written by Julián Cerón Madrigal and published by Julián Cerón Madrigal. This book was released on with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to explain the science behind the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic in a simple way, and with football? “COVID-19 told through football” has done it. This book combines rigorous scientific information, supported by articles that are referenced, with anecdotes from the world of football that serve to create analogies and disseminate scientific knowledge about COVID-19. The author is a biomedical researcher, with more than twenty-five years of experience in prestigious research institutions, such as Harvard University, but he has also been an amateur soccer player and has written soccer books (Raticos de fútbol I and II, in Spanish). In this way, it has been possible to write a book that masterfully mixes two such different and powerful subjects like science and football. Two prologues, one from the world of science (Carlos Pedrós-Alió, scientist and writer) and the other from the world of football (Ibrahim Afellay, former FC Barcelona player and international with the Netherlands), complete a rigorous and fun book, which achieves the fusion of science and football, two topics that either don't raise any interest or produce passion.
