Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Tribute To Pele written by Julie S Duran and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pele, the only three-time World Cup champion in history, died on Thursday at age 82 after a protracted fight with cancer. Brazil's President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he had a luxury many younger Brazilians did not get to experience: witnessing Pele play live. Pele, one of the best players the world has ever seen, has died at the age of 82. His playing career stretched more than 20 years, culminating with the now-dissolved New York Cosmos in 1977. UNESCO says Pele "worked persistently to promote sport as a vehicle for peace". He scored two goals in the final against Sweden when he was just 17 years old. He also dabbled in show business, releasing an album with Brazilian singer Elis Regina and performing in a couple of movies. Pele played 1,363 games, earning 37 championships, scoring 1,281 goals, including 92 career hat-tricks. In 1969, he became the first player to score 1,000 goals, at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro, known as the Mecca of Football. After retiring from football, he entered public service as minister of sports, presenting legislation that provides athletes their rights beyond a certain age. He led his country to a hat-trick of World Cups in 1958, 1962, and 1970, and remains their all-time leading goal scorer. He had been suffering from several diseases, including a respiratory infection, and was also suffering from heart and renal problems.
Download or read book The Tragic Histories of Mary Queen of Scots 1560 1690 written by John D. Staines and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author John Staines here argues that sixteenth- and seventeenth-century writers in England, Scotland, and France wrote tragedies of the Queen of Scots - royal heroine or tyrant, martyr or whore - in order to move their audiences towards political action by shaping and directing the passions generated by the spectacle of her fall. In following the retellings of her history from her lifetime through the revolutions and political experiments of the seventeenth century, this study identifies two basic literary traditions of her tragedy: one conservative, sentimental, and royalist, the other radical, skeptical, and republican. Staines provides new readings of Spenser and Milton, as well as of early modern dramatists, to compile a comprehensive study of the writings about this important historical and literary figure. He charts developments in public rhetoric and political writing from the Elizabethan period through the Restoration, using the emotional representations of the life of this tragic woman and queen to explore early modern experiments in addressing and moving a public audience. By exploring the writing and rewriting of the tragic histories of the Queen of Scots, this book reveals the importance of literature as a force in the redefinition of British political life between 1560 and 1690.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestseller in both the UK and the USA on its first publication, this book was the first fully authorised life of world's greatest living footballer. With exclusive access to Pelé, award-winning sports writer Harry Harris charts his meteoric rise from humble beginnings in Brazil to his first international at the age of sixteen. Superb athleticism, speed of thought and execution, and astonishing ball control helped him become the only player to have appeared in three World Cup-winning sides, and to have scored more than 1,200 goals in his senior career, a feat that is now unlikely ever to be equalled, let alone surpassed. Pelé remains the best footballer of all time, despite the extraordinary exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and legends such as Diego Maradona and Johan Cruyff. Now revised and updated to bring the story completely up to date, this is a tribute to a world-class sporting hero, a great sportsman and, to this day, an inspiration to millions.
