French full-back Patrice Evra, cult hero among Manchester United
fans, reveals the extraordinary story behind his rise to the top of
world football. One of 26 siblings, Evra was born in Dakar,
Senegal, and came to France at the age of one, growing up in a
tough housing project near Paris. With crime a way of life around
him, he found his escape in football and by the time he was 19,
after a professional start in Italy, he was playing in the gilded
surroundings of the Cote d'Azur, first for Nice then for Monaco.But
it was at Manchester United, between 2006 and 2014, that he played
his best football after being signed by Sir Alex Ferguson, helping
the club to five Premier League titles and the Champions League in
2008 alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and the rest. He
immersed himself in the history of the club, and became a hero to
the United crowd, before eventually leaving to go to more success
at Juventus, where he mentored a young Paul Pogba on his way to
becoming briefly the world's most expensive footballer. There have
been controversies along the way, including a notorious bust-up
after he alleged Luis Suarez had racially abused him during a match
and when as captain of France during the 2010 World Cup he led a
strike against the coaching staff.He remains a hugely popular and
charismatic figure in his sport, and has become an unlikely star of
social media, with more than 3 million Instagram followers, thanks
to his upbeat posts. I Love This Game is a book that captures that
joy and passion for his sport, but it also reveals how hard you
have to work to follow your dreams.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
