Autor Simon Kuper
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2026
A Sports Book of the Year in the Irish Times, the FT and the Mail on Sunday'Unmissable ... The ultimate book for anyone who loves football' Mail on Sunday'A brilliant evocation of the joy of the football carnival and the absurdities of the global spectacle... an essential companion' David Goldblatt It's the biggest competition on Earth. A four-yearly chance for the world's greatest footballers to realise their ultimate dream. A month-long media spectacle that's watched by billions. The World Cup has changed beyond recognition since the early days, when the players were semi-pros and the trophy went missing. Today, it's a corporate-led bonanza of dark money and dubious ethics. Simon Kuper, bestselling author of Barça, reflects on every tournament since Italia 90 to reveal a captivating portrait of sport in a globalised world. Entertaining and compelling, World Cup Fever is the definitive story of football's greatest drama, and of how the tournament can touch - and even change - our lives.

Recenzii

Kuper is an excellent guide... his book is filled with memorable vignettes
Charming and amusing
Kuper keeps the pages turning ... shines a light on the geopolitical happenings around each tournament
An essential warm-up for making sense of the extraordinary World Cup to come ... [Kuper] is a wry and sharp-eyed guide to the high-camp theatre of Fifa politics and the everyday carnival of fans on city streets
The ultimate book for anyone who loves football, and plenty who don't ... Unmissable
A delightful memoir, travelogue, and journal, Simon Kuper's World Cup Fever is a wry and sharp-eyed account of the world's now biggest public ritual. A brilliant evocation of the joy of the football carnival and the absurdities of the global spectacle, it remains alert to the game's ever closer pact with money and power. It is an essential companion to the tournament, for it allows us to look at the sun and not be blinded
A series of wise, wry and revealing reflections on football's greatest tournament and what it tells us about the world. Football Against the Enemy was one the three books that effectively invented modern football writing, and Kuper continues to lead the genre.
Praise for Barça: A masterfully written history of the world's greatest football club
An instant classic
Simply unmissable
A masterclass on football
Praise for Soccernomics: Magnificent
An Arsène Wenger of a book - more thoughtful than most of its rivals and, by football standards, positively intellectual.
