Latitudes / Latitudes (in Spanish)
Alberto Lati (Author) · Penguin · Paperback
A través de las crónicas que conforman este libro, Alberto Lati, uno de los periodistas más destacados de nuestro país no sólo nos muestra el detrás de cámaras de los Mundiales de futbol o de los Juegos Olímpicos que ha presenciado, sino que, con su estilo único, nos traslada a todas esas latitudes.
Edición actualizada con nuevas crónicas que, en definitiva, hacen más redondo el recorrido. Tan redondo como ese balón que ha sido su brújula para brincar de latitud en latitud por más de veinte años.
Mientras que los fanáticos más apasionados del futbol se maravillarán al conocer de cerca a figuras de la talla de Alfredo Di Stéfano o Lionel Messi, aquellos que desean entender este deporte desde otras perspectivas hallarán en las páginas de latitudes, de Alberto Lati, otras visiones más cercanas a la música, la política o la historia.
Como cronista, Lati ha recorrido más de 100 países cubriendo los eventos deportivos más importantes del planeta y en este libro nos hace ver sus colores y sentir sus texturas, nos hace hablar y escuchar su idioma, nos pasea por su historia y, ante todo, nos demuestra por qué el deporte es un fenómeno cultural, social, político y religioso mucho más complejo de lo que imaginamos. Todos, sin duda, se contagiarán del mero gozo de viajar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
After traveling through more than 100 countries covering the most important sporting events on the planet, Alberto Lati will undoubtedly show why soccer is a cultural phenomenon far more complex than we imagine, while also contagious inspiring readers with the joy of travel.
Through the chronicles that make up this book, Alberto Lati, one of the most prominent journalists in our country, not only reveals the behind-the-scenes world of the World Cups and Olympic Games he has witnessed, but also, with his unique style, transports us to all those latitudes.
This updated edition includes new chronicles that, without question, make the journey even more complete—perfectly rounded, just like the ball that has been his compass for jumping from latitude to latitude for more than twenty years.
While the most passionate soccer fans will marvel at getting an up-close look at figures such as Alfredo Di Stéfano or Lionel Messi, those who want to understand the sport from other perspectives will find in the pages of Latitudes by Alberto Lati, visions more closely connected to music, politics, or history.
As a chronicler, Lati has traveled through more than 100 countries covering the most important sporting events on the planet, and in this book he allows us to see their colors and feel their textures, to speak and hear their languages, to stroll through their histories, and above all, he shows us why sport is a cultural, social, political, and religious phenomenon far more complex than we imagine. Everyone, without a doubt, will be swept up by the pure joy of traveling.
