Luis Suárez

Mucho se ha escrito sobre Luis Suárez, uno de los grandes goleadores del fútbol mundial, pero nunca, hasta ahora, habíamos escuchado la versión del propio protagonista narrada por él mismo. En primera persona, y con una sinceridad conmovedora, Luis nos cuenta aspectos hasta hoy desconocidos de su vida que sorprenden en algunos casos y, en otros, impactan: sus inicios en Uruguay, su paso por la liga holandesa en el Groningen y el Ajax, sus años en el Liverpool, sus partidos con la celeste y el fichaje por el Barça son narrados con innumerables detalles inéditos que incluyen, sin autocensuras, episodios como la acusación de racismo de Patrice Evra, los mordiscos, y su opinión sobre los representantes y el dinero en el fútbol y en su vida. Frontal y directo como en el campo, pero sencillo y tierno a la vez, Luis Suárez se nos muestra tal cual es, y comparte su vida con una afición que lo idolatra.

Mi autobiografía

Cruzando la línea. Luis Suárez

Este ambicioso libro, producto de una larga vida dedicada al estudio de la historia, propone un recorrido por la historia de Europa desde el hundimiento del imperio romano hasta el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y lo hace a través de los avatares de estas cinco naciones, Inglaterra, Francia, Alemania, España e Italia, que cementan el proyecto cultural, religioso y político de la identidad europea. El resultado es un impresionante fresco de dieciocho siglos de historia europea, una obra de magnitud enciclopédica, que además lanza una tesis no exenta de polémica: la existencia de unas señas de identidad europeas, forjadas a partir de un pasado común en lo cultural, lo religioso y lo político.

de cómo Francia, España, Italia, Alemania e Inglaterra han configurado la historia de Europa

La Europa de las cinco naciones

Luis Suárez was a young boy already in love with football by the time his family moved from the countryside to Uruguay's capital, Montevideo. The guile and trickery of the street kid made an impact with the country's biggest club, Nacional, before he was spotted by Dutch scouts who brought him to Europe. Suárez was lured from Ajax to Merseyside by another iconic number 7, Kenny Dalglish. From that moment, he terrorised Premier League defences, driving a resurgent Liverpool towards their most exciting top-flight season in 24 years. But there is another side to Luis Suárez: the naturally fiery temperament which drives his competitiveness on the pitch. There was the very public incident with Patrice Evra of bitter rivals Manchester United, and the biting of Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, for which Suárez received eight- and ten-match suspensions respectively. Then during the World Cup finals in Brazil, in a physical encounter against Italy, he bit defender Giorgi Chiellini on the shoulder. Banned from football for four months, derided by the press, he left Brazil in the most testing of circumstances. In the summer's final twist, he became one of the most expensive footballers of all time, moving from Liverpool to Barcelona. In Crossing the Line, Luis Suárez talks from the heart about his intriguing career, his personal journey from scrapping street kid to performer on football's biggest stage, and the never-say-die attitude that sometimes causes him to overstep the mark.
