«El fútbol a sol y sombra» is Eduardo Galeano's essay on sport and society, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (238 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together brief chronicles and vignettes that celebrate the beauty of soccer as bodily expression and popular festivity, while denouncing the business and power structures that dominate it. Galeano criticizes the technocracy of professional sport for imposing a soccer of speed and force that renounces joy and fantasy; it also includes portraits of players such as Pedernera and episodes such as Ernesto Guevara training in Leticia.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Eduardo Galeano collection. This Akal edition, dated 2010, is a paperback volume with 238 pages.
Recommended for soccer fans and readers interested in social essays and cultural criticism.
Periodista y escritor uruguayo, autor de Las venas abiertas de América Latina y de la trilogía Memoria del fuego.
