At turns lyrical, ironic, and sympathetic, Mario Filho's chronicle of "the beautiful game" is a classic of Brazilian sports writing. Filho (1908-1966)--a famous Brazilian journalist after whom Rio's Maracan� stadium is officially named--tells the Brazilian soccer story as a boundary-busting one of race relations, popular culture, and national identity.
