Description

The intimate, honest and definitive memoir of the greatest goalkeeper of all time. The greatest and longest-serving goalkeeper of all time, Gianluigi Buffon, finally writes his definitive autobiography. Saved delves into and explores his personal life, revealing the dark and deeply human aspects of a player nicknamed 'Superman'. It covers his individual triumphs (with Parma, Juventus, and PSG) and team victories (league titles and the World Cup), but more than that, it focuses on the struggles of a man whose talents and flaws co-exist - exuberance turning into arrogance, insecurities, the professional bubble becoming a prison of loneliness and depression, and the difficulty of maintaining normal relationships. Written in collaboration with a Strega prize-winner (Italy's most prestigious literary award for fiction), Saved is a beautifully written love letter to a period of football cherished by fans around the globe.
