Book in Polish.
"Futbol i cała reszta" by Przemysław Rudzki is a moving story about the coming of age of today’s generation of thirty and forty somethings. It blends a fascination with sport and everyday relationships - from schoolyard matches to moments of emotion, misunderstandings and disappointed expectations. It is also a portrait of youthful adventures, tightening bonds and shared victories and defeats.
Year 1982. Young boys from a small town discover their passion for football, each for different reasons. While the world around them constantly changes, football remains the constant - setting the rhythm of their lives for two decades. These scenes might well be part of your own story too.
