商品簡介
The Ball is Round is the definitive history of how humanity has played, watched and followed football; an epic tale of players, managers, owners, clubs, nations, cultures, money and power. David Goldblatt's masterstroke is to show us for the first time that football cannot be untangled from the modern world in which it figures so prominently. This outstanding book is a chronicle of who has won and lost - and how and why. Above all, it is a celebration of the greatest game on earth.
`Stunning...will be the measure against which all other such volumes are judged. Packed with detail, stories, match reports and rumination. A magnificent work. Elegant, witty, stylish and crisp. Takes football history to a new level' Guardian
`A very good read. Goldblatt doesn't just understand the social context of the game around the world; he also has a nose for the best stories. A mind-boggling achievement' Simon Kuper, author of Football Against the Enemy
`Hefty and impressive...does exactly what it says on the tin, brilliantly' Independent
`An extraordinary achievement. A remarkably clear explanation of how the history of the game has shaped and been shaped by shifting social, economic and political tides. Magnificent' FourFourTwo
`Enlightening and entertaining' Time Out
`Excellent. An exhaustive study...[but] never an exhausting one and is very easy to pick up, put down and read in small chunks' Financial Times
