PRAISE FOR ME AND THE ROBBERSONS "Entertainingly different" - The Times "Funny and sweet and just the right level of anarchy!" Nicola Penfold, author of Where the World Turns Wild "It pulsates with humour, tenderness and outright anarchy with a plot that accelerates, weaves and spins like a high-octane car chase" V'sViewfromtheBookshelves "With a deliciously anarchic Dahl-ish energy to it and a lovely message to end, The Robbersons is already a hit all over the world - it's about time we got a chance to read it here" - Daniel Hahn, author and translator

Six Finnish Poets, the eleventh volume in this series, features six writers whose work is symbolic of the connection between the life of poetry in Finland and the life of the poets who write it. In Finland, poetry is a part of everyday life, a way of living, founded upon a do-it-yourself attitude that is independent of the approval of critics, publishers, or the popular masses. The poets selected here exhibit the vast range of Finnish poetry, from experimental prose to image-rich surrealism, and from sparse, stark minimalism to ironically melancholy pop-culture references.

Daring, flashy, innovative, volatile--no matter what they call him, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of soccer's brightest stars. A top-scoring striker with Paris Saint-Germain and captain of the Swedish national team, he has dominated the world's most storied teams, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and AC Milan. But his life wasn't always so charmed.
Born to Balkan immigrants who divorced when he was a toddler, Zlatan learned self-reliance from his rough-and-tumble neighborhood. While his father, a Bosnian Muslim, drank to forget the war back home, his mother's household was engulfed in chaos. Soccer was Zlatan's release. Mixing in street moves and trick plays, Zlatan was a wild talent who rode to practice on stolen bikes and relished showing up the rich kids--opponents and teammates alike. Goal by astonishing goal, the brash young outsider grew into an unlikely prodigy and, by his early twenties, an international phenomenon.
Told as only the man himself could tell it, featuring stories of friendships and feuds with the biggest names in the sport, "I Am Zlatan" is a wrenching, uproarious, and ultimately redemptive tale for underdogs everywhere.
Praise for "I Am Zlatan"
"Terrific . . . Far more insightful than your typical jock memoir, Ibra's book tells his story of growing up as the son of immigrants in Sweden and pulls no punches when it comes to his opinions of some of the biggest names in the game."--"Sports Illustrated"
"The most compelling autobiography ever to appear under a footballer's name."--"The Guardian"
"The story of Zlatan--from his days as an immigrant kid juggling a soccer ball so he won't get bullied to his emergence as the genius player who scored the greatest goal ever--is as compelling and fancy-footed as his game."--Aleksandar Hemon, National Book Award finalist and author of "The Lazarus Project"
"I love this book. I love it because it's so much bigger than soccer. "I Am Zlatan" is a story of hope and grit and what an immigrant kid who comes from nothing can accomplish with hard work and belief in himself. It's also a beautiful window into our new, more open, more diverse world."--Marcus Samuelsson, bestselling author of "Yes, Chef"
"Probably the bestselling European immigrant's tale since Zadie Smith's "White Teeth" . . . Once you get past the obligatory snigger prompted by the phrase 'footballer's autobiography, ' you can see that Zlatan's book strangely resembles an earlier immigrant's tale: "Portnoy's Complaint."""--Financial Times
"
"He is skillful. He is outspoken. He is Zlatan."--"The New York Times"
" "
"The best sports autobiography in years."--"PolicyMic"
