Brazil: The Beautiful Game By Christopher Pilitz - amzn.to/1kvcpYw This celebration of Brazils football obsession captures every angle of the game, the players, and the fans of the most beautiful game on earth. Having photographed football in Brazil for two decades, no one understands the countrys passion for the sport better than Christopher Pillitz. From Brazils sun-kissed beaches to its densely populated favelas, Pillitz reveals the sport as Brazils religion. His bold and brightly colored photographs show players of every age and walk of life. They take readers from enormous stadiums and prison yards to the tops of tall buildings and a deep-sea oil platform; across countless streets, alleys, and highways; even inside a local seminary where longrobed monks display incredible agility playing in their cassocks. While he captures stylish kicks, athletic headers, swaying dribbles and passes, and the samba and capoeira behind the incredible moves, Pillitz also shows us the wild excitement of the colorful, eccentric fans, and, of course, he reveals the gentle side of the beautiful game - the many women footballers and fans who enjoy the sport as much as their male counterparts. Timed to coincide with Brazil hosting the tournament this summer, this absorbing and thrilling collection will help new and seasoned fans understand what football truly represents to the countrys people and its culture.
