Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream - H. G. Bissinger

Descriere Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream - H. G. Bissinger

\nNamed Sports Illustrated's best football book of all time and a #1 NYT bestseller, this is the classic story of a high school football team whose win-loss record has a profound influence on the town around them. \nReturn once again to the timeless account of the Permian Panthers of Odessa -- the winningest high-school football team in Texas history. Socially and racially divided, Odessa isn't known to be a place big on dreams, but every Friday night from September to December, when the Panthers play football, dreams can come true. \nWith frankness and compassion, Pulitzer Prize winner H. G. Bissinger unforgettably captures a season in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires -- and sometimes shatters -- the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms. \nThe inspiration for the hit television program and film of the same name, this anniversary edition features a new afterword by the author.
