«En sentido literal, Villoro es un periodista y profesor de literatura mexicano. Pero cuando escribe de futbol esos títulos son insuficientes. Al abordar "el juego hermoso", el autor es un poeta y un crítico, un filósofo y un historiador, un observador atento y un fan entregado», Kirkus Reviews.

Las crónicas sobre futbol de Juan Villoro alternan el sabroso tono de la tertulia con la épica recuperación de los grandes lances: «El juego sucede dos veces, en la cancha y en la mente del público. Dios es redondo pretende situarse en esta encrucijada. No es un libro de historia del deporte ni una valoración de sus logros, sino una exploración narrativa de las pasiones que suscita».

Dios es redondo obtuvo en Barcelona el Premio Internacional Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, que significó la consagración de su autor como cronista de la pasión futbolera y de los feligreses que renuevan su fe con cada gol. Aquí Villoro se adentra en el principal espectáculo del planeta y demuestra por qué la FIFA tiene más agremiados que la ONU. Un protagonista esencial de esta galería de retratos es Diego Armando Maradona, el más desaforado divo de las canchas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Literally speaking, Villoro is a Mexican journalist and literature professor. But when he writes about soccer, those titles are insufficient. In tackling 'the beautiful game, ' the author becomes a poet and a critic, a philosopher and a historian, a keen observer and a devoted fan," Kirkus Reviews.

Juan Villoro's chronicles of soccer alternate between the lively tone of conversation and the epic recovery of great plays: "The game happens twice, on the field and in the mind of the audience. Dios es redondo seeks to place itself at this crossroads. It is not a history of the sport nor an assessment of its achievements, but a narrative exploration of the passions it arouses."

Dios es redondo received the International Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Prize in Barcelona, marking the author's consecration as a chronicler of soccer passion and of the faithful who renew their devotion with every goal. Here Villoro delves into the planet's greatest spectacle and shows why FIFA has more members than the UN. A central figure in this gallery of portraits is Diego Armando Maradona, the most extravagant star of the pitch.

Very Helpful!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I purchased a new copy of this book. The new book comes with a code that provides online access to a some lab resources and also an E-book version that is searchable and has excellent content. I attached a screenshot of a section of the e-book. Definitely worth it! Provides values and guide to interpreting tests and implications as well as associated nursing diagnoses. This book was recommended for a clinical nursing class but not required. I think it is helpful for my other classes as well (pharmacology, pathophysiology). I think if you get it you will see how useful it is. I purchased the 10th edition, which was published 2023.

Small and compact

I didn’t expect it to be small - which is better, I think. Should have read the info. Photo in comparison with the 2024 Nursing Drug Handbook I recently purchased.
