Um Brasileiro Chamado Garrincha
A vivid biography of Manuel "Garrincha" Francisco dos Santos that follows his rise from poverty in Pau Grande to global fame as Brazil’s dazzling dribbler and World Cup hero, and contrasts his on-field genius and joyful play with off-field struggles—alcoholism, turbulent relationships, exploitation and a tragic decline—offering a sympathetic yet unsparing portrait based on extensive research and firsthand testimony.
