About Biographies - Diego Maradona

In Spain it is quite common to read and see the works translated. A film is often called. This is what I'm thinking while reading this book.

It 'hard to write this book, the biographer, politics and football supporters. In particular, about the soccer game: you are for or against. Barcelona or Madrid, Manchester or Liverpool, or in this case, Argentina or England.

This is what I think of this book, it says to those who are in favorArgentina and Maradona, and those against him and they are.

This is a book of political, social and religious. The first chapter is called "resurrection". It 'also on politics, the Falklands War in 1982 and this is football. So the image of Diego Maradona is outlined.

In the introduction to this biography the author writes about the time that slips into a depression, in parallel with what happened with Maradona at that time. The importance of thisThe revelation is more important than I initially thought. I keep wondering why they feel depressed at the end of this biography. He realized what he did? And 'I wonder?

The biography was never approved by Maradona, but that happens a lot. However, the products can be very interesting. This work has been prepared with care, but it is clear from those who would wonder, digested, "Who is the author of this work, Jimmy Burns. WhatPart is? "

He turns out to be English and Spanish roots, and that the first problem. This is the second problem is that the link was too much in a single work: politics, social life and religion.

The Argentine fan does not accept the result, and Burns is quite open about it in his introduction.

"In England," he writes, "people would love it if a foreigner writing about Charles and Diana." But Argentina has not seen it. I thinkfeel betrayed.

The conflict starts from the beginning, with the subtitle: the hand of God? Or is the title itself. And "The Life of Diego Maradona," the subtitle? The author has forgotten his past when he did this in Mexico, when Argentina played against England?

The fact that Burns has Spanish roots (he was born in Madrid) does not change the fact that the biography is not accepted in South America. Spain is as much a rival as the UK isArgentina.

The religious center makes it less credible. Football and religion form a stable couple, but also an explosive couple. Why is the book with religious themes, like "Resurrection" structured ", gave birth to a child", and "the temple", is what I wonder. The hand of God from the first phrase you learn the basic premise: This is the story of a player who thought he was God and suffered as a result. "

The explicit message makes you wonder. How he was able tosafe? Or let me rephrase this, it might be suffered for other reasons. Or if he is God, if he wants to start thinking about that?

But this and many other issues no longer count, the sentence had been sentenced ...

The point of social, political and religious views, the work more challenging and less universal. Either you like the idea or not. They are both on the British side of the Falklands War or the Falklands war the Argentine side of the same. Youbelieve what he writes about the Argentine culture, about their "hero" Martin Fierro about their language and the role of "deception" or think that everything is fiction and the so-called "Fair Play" laughed the United Kingdom.
In line with this, it is possible that the actual content of calcium and the person is not given by Maradona. There are enough interesting content to Pele and Cruyff and Burns' his opinion on the technical qualities of Maradona.

But

And this is myReview. When it comes to the life of Maradona, I prefer not "film" subtitle, but the real thing, reading from the field and not by a foreign journalist. To read from a native speaker, or worse, someone from Uruguay, was an Argentine citizen. This is why I prefer "I am Diego" by Daniel Arcucci and Ernesto Cherquis Biala. With the risk that more than a biography autobiography, but the conclusion would be the same? As a judge, I would like most people, theBenefit of the doubt.

Not God, only Diego.

Public Speaking - Author Biographies Speaking Get Commitments

First, write the book. Second, sell the book. In most cases, however, before you can sell your book, you have to sell yourself.

The interviews for the book signing in the form of sessions, seminars and events are important to sell yourself and your book. Before you can, however, the talks in order to sell your book, you must be in writing, a biography of the potential audience, a one-page summary of your career as a writer or part of yourCareer related to your book.

Limit your biography of the author of a page. People do not have the time or energy for the profiles along with details that are not relevant to the review of your book. In addition, the author biographies tend long list of performance every minute and are known to have made up or exaggerated credentials. Tell the truth and the truth, to be brief. Stick to the facts about your writing and speaking career. Although some authorities say it is okay toa personal note to readers who show a real person, I propose an economy of words and feelings of failure. Do not sink into your dreams. Nobody really cares about your dreams, but you and your family and friends.

Write your own biography as an author, if you're writing about someone else, that is to write in third person. It 's easier to show in the third person. First person author biographies and curriculum vitae formats are not as professional and as a markan amateur in the field.

That's how Iimagine: Sunny Nash is a writer award-winning photographer, producer and author of Bigmama has never shopped at Woolworth's, an essay from the perspective of a black child raised in the middle of the century, says the South American, which describes discrimination, sit- ins, boycotts, riots, police brutality and personal triumph.

After introducing himself, is the key component of the biography of the author, a description of the book you are trying to present. The description should be a powerfulIn short, self-declaration about your book. Remember, this statement is not a review, an assessment or a statement. Education is a description that readers who know more and should take about the book. Devotes a paragraph of your biography author of this summary. Here's an example of how to describe my book: A collection of essays on the lives of non-fiction with her grandmother, Bigmama, during the civil rights movement, remembers Nash USA1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, and the leader of the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King, Jr. before Nash's book by Texas A & M University Press has published, he had earned his reputation as a writer and focus column. He worked for his second book from this publisher.

Personal experiences, interviews and research gave me the authority to write and to speak with my argument. Demonstrate their authority, even if you write fiction.

Because I read the biographies - American Caesar

There are many good reasons to read the biographies: for more people to read their roots suspended in the secret of their success and to seek inspiration from their bad behavior in These are all good reasons, but usually read biographies of laziness and gossip.

The greatest biography in English is probably still "Boswell's Life of Johnson." It 'a very famous and very dense book, but it's also very funny.

InBoswell's Life of Johnson, you learn a lot about the social habits of these people worshiped in ancient times (for "read the social habits'-sex, eat, drink and entertainment) and daily life before the inventions we take for granted ( such as bathrooms and hot water).

The biography of the most successful of modern times is the life of Kitty Kelley's controversial Frank Sinatra, it seems more millions of copies have been sold than any other biography.

For theGenerations, and he knew admired Sinatra, is a fascinating book. And Sinatra, each page is hated.

Laziness is a big motivation for me, because I want to go to work this hard without the history. So, on this approach to the subject of one of the great books - and the biggest revelations - for me, "American Caesar" by William Manchester. [Little, Brown & Company, 1978]

If I saw a book titled "History of the Philippines, Japan and Southeast Asia 1932-1948" I certainlyhave gone through.

If I had seen, have a book called "The Last King of Japan 'would not understand the title and is likely to remain on the shelf.

But this is the life of Douglas MacArthur is a war hero, the architect of modern Japan, the savior of the Philippines and much more. He was held by a long way the most powerful American, the Office of the President and this book shows how he did it. It 'an incredible story, but it's true.

The voices, some of which provided by the infamousDismissal by President Truman and the "cast" of its President, who were, of course, its commander in chief and never wanted to be second to none. His treatment of his superior, General George Marshall and military employees, a man named Dwight D. Eisenhower was also surprising.

And certainly the most famous generals like George Patton thought they were powerful, until it is in this soldier, prophet, Super Manager, selfish, half god and symbol come.

If hewas completely crazy, as some historians think so detection of this book, it was crazy like a fox. They had this book as a biography, because their sales had no choice - is the true life of an extraordinary man. If he had tried to sell it as fiction, nobody would have thought.

For the lazy student of the history of this masterpiece of the famous William Manchester state and fills in the history of South-east Asia and the Pacific in World War II in acomprehensive and fascinating journey.
