这是地球上规模较大的赛事。每四年一次，世界足球运动员有机会实现他们的梦想。长达一个月的媒体盛宴，吸引着数十亿观众。

自早期球员还是半职业球员、奖杯甚至一度失踪以来，世界杯已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。如今，它已成为一场由企业主导、充斥着黑钱和可疑道德的盛宴。畅销书《巴萨》的作者西蒙·库珀回顾了自1990年意大利世界杯以来的每一届世界杯，揭示了全球化世界中体育的迷人图景。 《世界杯狂热》一书精彩纷呈，引人入胜，讲述了足球史上伟大的戏剧性事件，以及这项赛事如何影响甚至改变我们的生活。

A Sports Book of the Year in the Irish Times, the FT and the Mail on Sunday

'Kuper is one of the best sportswriters in the English language today' New Yorker

'Unmissable ... The ultimate book for anyone who loves football' Mail on Sunday

'A brilliant evocation of the joy of the football carnival and the absurdities of the global spectacle... an essential companion' David Goldblatt

It's the biggest competition on Earth. A four-yearly chance for the world's greatest footballers to realise their ultimate dream. A month-long media spectacle that's watched by billions.

The World Cup has changed beyond recognition since the early days, when the players were semi-pros and the trophy went missing. Today, it's a corporate-led bonanza of dark money and dubious ethics. Simon Kuper, bestselling author of Barça, reflects on every tournament since Italia 90 to reveal a captivating portrait of sport in a globalised world. Entertaining and compelling, World Cup Fever is the definitive story of football's greatest drama, and of how the tournament can touch - and even change - our lives.
