«The Meaning of Sport» is Simon Barnes's sports essay, published by Short Books in hardback (368 pages, in English).
Simon Barnes analyses why sport fascinates: from the Athens Olympics to the World Cup in Germany, with stops at the Ashes series, the Ryder Cup and Wimbledon. He examines Wayne Rooney's intelligence, Steve Redgrave's mythic character and Andrew Flintoff's forging, and finds unexpected answers.
The work was originally published on 2 August 2007; this edition is a reprint.
For sports fans and readers curious about the human background of events such as the Olympics, Wimbledon or the World Cup.
