Między Kibolami Book / Bill Buford

Product description

Book in Polish language edition.

Their nicknames are Barmy Bernie, Daft Donald and Steamin' Sammy. They love downing lagers (in massive amounts), clashing with the police, getting into fights, praising the Queen and football clubs (especially Manchester United). They are English hooligans. They love themselves and hate everyone else, which they show by starting riots and terrorizing cities during away games. Bill Buford, a journalist for the prestigious magazine "Granta", wants to get to know and understand them. He sneaks into the closed world of hooligans and – with commitment reminiscent of Hunter S. Thompson – describes both their barbarity and their sinister appeal.

Grotesque, terrifying, repulsive. "Clockwork Orange" for real.
John Gregory Dunne

This gripping report by Buford on football violence captures nationalist fury in a frightening close-up. A landmark book about the direction the world is heading.
Don DeLillo

An important, maybe even prophetic book. At once thrilling and sad. Buford is an exceptionally talented reporter.
“The New York Times Book Review”

Brilliant… one of the most disturbing books you will ever read.
