Fever pitch

This is the bitter-sweet autobiography which vividly accounts the elation and utter despair of a love affair with a particular soccer team. Hornby pinpoints 1968 as his formative year--the year he turned 11, the year his parents separated, and the year his father first took him to watch Arsenal play. The author quickly moved "way beyond fandom" into an extreme obsession that has dominated his life, loves, and relationships. This book captures the truth and absurdities of the obsessed Arsenal fan's mind, and whether you are interested in soccer or not, this is a study of masculinity, class, identity, growing up, loyalty, depression - and joy.

  • "An autobiographical memoir by a humorous British author and obsessed soccer fan captures the intensity of a sports fan who measures his life in seasons rather than years."@en
  • "Eine Lebensgeschichte in Fussballspielen. Ein Buch über die nie endende Pubertät der Männer und darüber, was Fan-Sein zu bedeuten hat. Nick Hornby heisst der Fan und sein Verein Arsenal London: Elf Männer in roten kurzen Hosen versetzen Nick Hornby in Ekstase, bestimmen sein Leben."
  • "A famous account of growing up to be a fanatical football supporter. Told through a series of match reports, Fever Pitch has enjoyed enormous critical and commercial success since it was first published in 1992. It has helped to create a new kind of sports writing, and established Hornby as one of the finest writers of his generation."
  • "1988. Professeur danglais dans un établissement de la banlieue londonienne, Paul Ashworth, la trentaine, est un mordu du ballon rond. Son temps libre, il le partage entre lentraînement de léquipe de foot du lycée et sa passion pour le club dArsenal, dont il est un supporter inconditionnel depuis lâge de 12 ans. Ce qui ne lempêche pas de lorgner sur sa jolie collègue, Sarah Hughes, dont le formalisme na dégal que la décontraction de Paul. Et en dépit de tout ce qui les sépare, tous deux tombent bientôt dans les bras lun de lautre."

  • "For many people watching football is mere entertainment; to some it's more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself. For Nick Hornby's devotion to the game has provided one of the few constants in a life where the meaningf ul things - like growing up, leaving home and forming relationship s- have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal."
  • "Nick Hornby has been a soccer fan since the moment he was conceived. Fever Pitch is his tribute to a lifelong obsession. Part autobiography, part comedy, part incisive analysis of insanity, Hornby's award-winning memoir captures the fever pitch of fandom--its agony and ecstasy, its community, its defining role in thousands of young men's coming of age stories. Fever Pitch is one for the home team. But above all, it is one for everyone who knows what it really means to have a losing season."@en
