Follow the history of FC Barcelona on their meteoric rise to fame, from 1899 to the present day
Bar ç a celebrates the rise of the most dominant soccer team in the modern era. It is not just that the team has won everything there is to win, it is that they do it with a style rarely seen in the world of soccer. They have excited fans not just in Catalonia, but all around the globe, making household names of Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Romario, Maradona, Cruyff, and many more over more than a century of soccer excellence. This book traces the club's history from its formation in 1899, the trials and tribulations of growth, the battle to emerge from the shadow—politically and sportingly—of Madrid, the blossoming of the club in the 1970s, European glory in the 1980s and 1990s, and now this juggernaut of soccer that brushes aside all-comers. Features on the legends of Barcelona give deeper insight into the clubs key players and the lively, informative text is brought to life by dramatic action images.

Táto kniha bola tak zle preložená, že preklad hodnotím tak 1* - prekladateľom očividne svet futbalu nič nehovorí a preklad je kostrbatý jak z Google Translate.
Samotný text nie je ale ani v origináli extra pútavý, lebo je čisto faktografický a aj preto som knihu čítala vyše polroka.
Pekné fotky. Pekne graficky spracovaná kniha. A teda je to o Barcelone, nič podobné u nás zatiaľ nevyšlo, ale teda je to skôr kniha na poličku ako do to read listu. :(
