Description

From São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. From Arena de São Paulo to the Maracanã. From one Brazilian city to another, from one stadium to the next, author Anilava Chatterjee accompanied the journeys of Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and other stars during the FIFA World Cup 2014.

In between, he also explored the hometowns of Pelé and Neymar, tracing their childhoods and the stories of their rise to greatness. He reached Santos FC, the cradle of Brazilian football, the club that gifted world football legends such as Pelé, Neymar and Ronaldinho.

Of course, all these stories find a place in “Brazil Theke Bolchhi”. But the book also recounts the thrilling experience of chasing Maradona through sleepless nights, as well as the eerie silence that descended upon Brazil after the nation was devastated by Germany’s 7–1 victory.

Without these stories, this book would have remained incomplete.
