Novak Djokovic is not just one of the greatest tennis players in the world - in fact, he is the authorized representative of his homeland, Serbia. And this is not an easy task, if we recall the reaction that the actions of Serbia in the Yugoslav wars of the 90s caused in the world media. 20th century To this day, many people associate the word "Serbia" with the words "bloody crimes". In Chris Bowers' study of Djokovic and his homeland, in fact, there are two main characters. One is Novak himself, at first a boy from a poor family, who was lucky enough to meet a woman who not only taught him how to play tennis, but also opened the way to the glory of the world's first racket | then a teenager and a young man who set himself a great goal | and finally, the current Novak Djokovic: a superstar of world tournaments, a favorite of Serbia and the founder of a well-known charitable foundation named after him. In detail, with passion (and without avoiding sharp corners), the author tells about this outstanding personality, about his victories and defeats, about his willpower and extraordinary determination, about the achievements on the court that glorified his homeland. The second actor is this homeland itself, Serbia. Bowers is candid about her role in the wars of the 1990s. and offers his own explanation of the history and life of the people with its difficult past. In addition, the book contains the views of Djokovic himself, which he shared with the author, talking about his activities as the representative of Serbia in the world.

Вражаюча історія про силу духу та відданість

Ця книга є справжнім шедевром, що розкриває не лише особистість Новака Джоковича, а й глибокі корені його зв'язку з Сербією. Автор, Кріс Бауэрс, майстерно поєднує біографію видатного тенісиста з історією його батьківщини, що надає читачеві можливість зрозуміти, як важливі культурні та історичні контексти вплинули на формування Джоковича як особистості. Його шлях від скромного хлопчика до суперзірки світового тенісу вражає, а опис його боротьби за успіх, незважаючи на численні труднощі, надихає. Бауэрс не боїться торкатися складних тем, пов'язаних з історією Сербії, що робить цю книгу ще більш цінною для розуміння контексту, в якому живе і працює Джокович. Хоча переклад тексту місцями може бути не зовсім ідеальним, це не зменшує загального враження від читання. Рекомендую цю книгу всім, хто цікавиться не лише тенісом, а й історією, культурою та людськими долями.
