EL HOMBRE DETRÁS DE LA LEYENDA: LA APASIONANTE HISTORIA DEL DEPORTISTA ESPAÑOL MÁS GRANDE DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS. Tras casi treinta años cubriendo el deporte más elegante del mundo, el periodista Sebastián Fest rememora en este libro las decenas de conversaciones que ha mantenido con Rafael Nadal sobre el tenis y la vida misma. Dentro y fuera de las pistas. Encuentros en Mallorca, París, Madrid, Londres, Nueva York, Miami, Acapulco, Buenos Aires, Shanghái, Melbourne, Dubái, Atenas y otros escenarios que han acogido los más grandes torneos del tenis mundial para descifrar la personalidad del hombre que ganó catorce veces Roland Garros y dio forma, junto a Novak Djokovic y Roger Federer, a una era dorada de este deporte. Este es un libro cercano y a la vez crítico, minucioso y sorprendente; un viaje por el mundo del tenis enriquecido con entrevistas exclusivas a rivales, amigos y otras personas cercanas al mallorquín. Un homenaje necesario a la historia y a las hazañas monumentales de un protagonista irrepetible al que el tenis y toda España le deben tanto. Por eso, gracias, Rafa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE MAN BEHIND THE LEGEND: THE FASCINATING STORY OF THE GREATEST SPANISH ATHLETE OF ALL TIME.
Journalist Sebastián Fest has spent nearly thirty years writing about the world's most elegant sport. In this book, he recalls dozens of conversations with Rafael Nadal about tennis and life on and off the court. In Mallorca, Paris, Madrid, London, New York, Miami, Acapulco, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Melbourne, Dubai, Athens and other stages for the world's biggest tennis tournaments, Fest has had ample time to study the character of the fourteen-time Roland Garros winner who, along with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, led a new golden era for the sport. At once familiar and critical, this meticulous and surprising account is a journey through the world of tennis, sprinkled with exclusive interviewers with rivals, friends and others close to the superstar from Mallorca. It is a fitting tribute to the story and prodigious accomplishments of a player unlike any other, and to which the sport of tennis and Spain owe so much. For these, we thank you, Rafa.
