Ilie Nastase Books
This author delves into literary analyses of sports, focusing on the psychology and strategy of professional tennis. Their style is analytical and insightful, uncovering the hidden motivations and pressures that shape elite athletes. The works offer a deep look into the mental fortitude and demands of professional sports.
It would not be an overstatement to say that Ilie Nastase was at least partly responsible for the explosion of interest in tennis in the 1970s. Thanks to his prowess on the court, his flamboyant lifestyle, his sex appeal, and the controversy that continually surrounded him, Nastase’s name was well known far beyond the confines of tennis. In this candid autobiography, he recalls his days as a young troublemaker in Bucharest, his rise in the world of tennis, his incident-packed glory years in the game, and his high-profile life as a playboy. A sparkling memoir, recounted with all the swagger and bravado of the original bad boy of tennis.

Séducteur, Isrvan Harwai l’est assurément. Ne prête-t-on pas à ce superbe athlète hongrois, ex-numéro un mondial du tennis, nombre de liaisons tapageuses ? Pourtant, celle qui va lui briser le cœur n’est qu’une petite enfant de onze ans qu’il a décidé d’adopter : Natty, la fille de son ami Komay mort accidentellement. Lorsque Natty, devenue adolescente, remporte son titre de championne mondiale junior de tennis et lui avoue son amour, Isrvan se trouble : lui, l’ex-star des courts, peut-il se contenter de n’être que l’ombre de la nouvelle étoile féminine ? Une déchirante histoire d’amour qui nous révèle les craintes, les angoisses, la fragilité de ces fous de la raquette que l’on croit si souvent invulnérables.
