Pele

From the poverty-stricken streets of São Paulo to the top of the soccer world, Pelé’s life story is as extraordinary as it is enrapturing. With his trademark wit and deference, the legend presents the fantastic events of his life with insight and humor in this tell-all autobiography. He discusses his meteoric rise to become one of the greatest soccer players of all time, including his three World Cup championships and numerous league victories. On top of his athletic achievements, Pelé also discusses his role as a staunch campaigner for human rights and the plight of street children in his home country, as well as his recent role as a UN Ambassador. By turns addictive, moving, and enlightening, this is the ultimate story of the ultimate sports star.
