ABOUT THIS BOOK:
With an autobiographical testimony punctuated by over 70 images, the book "Pele - My Life in Pictures" condenses the narrative of the scrawny boy from Tres Coracoes who became one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Presented in a scrapbook format, the volume includes a series of collectible items that can be detached and kept by the reader, such as game tickets, the poster of the 1958 World Cup, newspaper clippings from that era, and even an official document from the White House regarding Pele's visit to President Nixon. The images depict memorable moments of the player, such as the sequence of his 1,000th goal, the portrait of Pele created by artist Andy Warhol in 1977, and the embrace with his friend Muhammad Ali during the ceremony of his definitive farewell to football. The edition also includes an appendix listing the goals Pele scored throughout his career, divided by year, date, team, and opponent.(Publisher). Very good. Item #13196
