Maradona : the boy, the rebel, the God / Guillem Balague. - London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2021. - xxi, 362 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Diego Maradona is one of those rare individuals who has become a legend in his own lifetime. Widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, he also one the most controversial. Guillem Balague relates the Maradona story as a succession of stories, none of them ever fully told before. This journey of exploration takes Guillem to Argentina, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla, and finally to Dubai and Mexico. Diego will be the protagonist of these stories (some as short as a page, some much longer, some will be funny anecdotes, some a parabola of his life, and perhaps ours), that will take us from one continent to another, from one club to another. This book represents a psychological and sociological approach to the legend: one told via minor, major and formative incidents that occurred at specific moments in Maradona's life.
