The Making of Les Bleus
The Making of Les Bleus traces the Fifth Republic’s quest to create elite athletes in two global team sports, football and basketball, primarily at the youth level. While the objective of this mission was to improve performances at international competitions, such programs were quickly seized upon to help ease domestic issues and tensions. The onset of the Cold War forced countries of all sizes to rethink their relevancy. A country’s ability to exert “soft power,” or influence others through the cultural sphere, became more important. Sport was but one way through which to do so. The extent to which France harnessed the athletic domain was unprecedented among other West European nati...
The Eyes of Destiny
My name is Mason Cyrille Elong Ewing. My mother Marie died when I was barely 4 years old. She left behind a child with a fragile destiny. In Cameroon, my nickname was Toro. For a better life, I then travelled to France to live with my aunt and uncle. I was promised this would be a wonderful experience, but nobody told me it would be hell. I become, Lucien, a slave. When I was 14, I fell into a coma. When I woke up, I had become blind. My destiny had no color and became increasingly darker, until one day I was able to create a little hope, a little light and a few bursts of color. Today, I have turned my misfortunes into victories and I wanted to share my story to inspire the world. Even though I can no longer see, my eyes are wide open to contemplate my Destiny. The one I have chosen.
Les matchs de ma vie
Préface de Lorànt Deutsch " Je m'appelle Bruno Bellone et j'ai été footballeur professionnel. Cette biographie est la trace écrite de tous les matchs de ma vie, les plus beaux comme les plus ratés. Quand la gloire a commencé à me faire les yeux doux, on m'a surnommé Lucky Luke parce que je marquais plus vite que mon ombre. Ma riche carrière terminée trop tôt – l'année de mes vingt-huit ans – à la suite d'une blessure, ce surnom a alors traduit ma solitude et ma détresse face à mes multiples turbulences financières et personnelles. Il m'a fallu porter de nombreux deuils et déjouer tous les écarts de conduite de ma destinée, mais je suis assez fier d'avoir tenu les deux plus audacieuses promesses que je m'étais faites à moi-même : devenir footballeur professionnel et me sortir de l'enfer dans lequel mes revers de fortune m'avaient plongé. "

Goal!
Goal! covers the history of the beautiful game from its origins in English public schools in the early 19th century to its current role as a crucial element of a globalized entertainment industry. The authors explain how football transformed from a sport at elite boarding schools in England to become a pastime popular with the working classes, enabling factories such as the Thames Iron Works and the Woolwich Arsenal to give birth to the teams that would become the Premier League mainstays known as West Ham United and Arsenal. They also explore how the age of amateur soccer ended and, with the advent of professionalism, how football became a sport dominated by big clubs with big money and with an international audience.
