El fútbol según Pasolini

This book is a journey that covers, through interviews, literary fragments and direct testimonies, the deep sentimental relationship between Pier Paolo Pasolini and football. Before being a sport, soccer was for Pasolini a human language capable of speaking to the masses; a universal language with its poets and prose writers that has always attracted the interest of the Italian author as an intellectual and as an amateur. Equally fascinated by the popular soccer of the suburban fields and by the spectacle of the great stages of Serie A, Pasolini always proudly claimed the apparent contradiction of being a committed thinker and at the same time in love with a game considered by many as the "opium of the people".
