The Heart of Poland : An Odyssey Through a Country's Football Culture Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Heart of Poland is an incredible journey through the country's football culture, and an intensely personal exploration of a nation as it stands at the crossroads of a sporting revolution. In much the same way British football transitioned in the early 1990s, Poland faces its own moment of reckoning.

Told through the lens of photojournalist Alex Webber, the essence of Polish football is revealed via its many layers of football: from its highest echelons to the tough realities of the lower leagues. Working as a photographer, covering football and fan culture across the Polish leagues, Webber's all-areas access has allowed him to document these changes; and the result is his portfolio of stunning images. Shooting on a match-by-match basis to tell the story, Webber documents a series of footballing contrasts: from heated derbies and riotous rivalries, to sedate village matches and arcane, forgotten grounds.

Beautiful photographs, reproduced in full colour, are accompanied by a narrative which blends personal observation of the football landscape with historical context to take the reader into the Heart of Poland.
