About this product

Product Information

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known to his schoolmates as Pel , grew up in poverty in the Sao Paulo region of Brazil. He was too poor to afford a real soccer ball, so he played with a ball of newspaper tied together with string. Yet he dominated the youth leagues and signed his first professional soccer contract at the age of fifteen. Within two years he was celebrated internationally, when he led Brazil to victory at the world cup. Known by his fans as "O Rei" (The King), Pel is widely regarded as the greatest soccer player of all time. But he's more than just an athlete: he also traveled the world as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Pel is the living symbol of a sport he dubbed "the beautiful game"--a game that brings people together regardless of race or nationality. In the graphic novel Pele: The King of Soccer , Eddy Simon and Vincent Brascaglia beautifully depict Pele's rise from the slums of Brazil to the national stage.

Reviews
"Soccer great Pel's story has been told far, wide, and well, but Simon and Brascaglia provide the full context--its cultural, economic, political, and physical geography--it deserves."-- Kirkus , starred review "The artwork is active and graceful--occasionally frenetic, depicting what Pel called "the beautiful game." A great addition for graphic novel collections and a good way to attract reluctant readers."-- School Library Journal " Appealingly energetic, this should have a wide appeal, even beyond soccer fans--an easy win." -- Booklist, "Soccer great Pel's story has been told far, wide, and well, but Simon and Brascaglia provide the full context--its cultural, economic, political, and physical geography--it deserves."-- Kirkus , starred review, "Soccer great Pel's story has been told far, wide, and well, but Simon and Brascaglia provide the full context--its cultural, economic, political, and physical geography--it deserves."-- Kirkus , starred review "The artwork is active and graceful--occasionally frenetic, depicting what Pel called "the beautiful game."
