Shirt 13 - Series of 13 books

Camisa 13 - Seriado de 13 livros

Resumo

In the year 2001 the Brazilian editor DBA had the lucky idea to start publishing a
series called “Camisa 13 – Shirt 13” to pay homage to the 13 most important Brazilian
football clubs. The concept was to invite 13 of the most known contemporary Brazilian
writers to describe their club from a fans’ view and in a humorous way. They asked Ruy
Castro to write about Flamengo, José Roberto Torero about Santos, Mario Prata about
Palmeiras, Washington Olivetto and Nirlando Beirão about Corinthians, Ricardo Galuppo
about Atlético/MG, Sergio Augusto about Botafogo, Luis Fernando Verissimo about
Internacional, Eduardo Bueno about Grêmio, Nelson Motta about Fluminense, Conrado
Giacomini about São Paulo FC, Bob Fernandes about Bahia, Jorge Santana about
Cruzeiro and Aldir Blanc about Vasco da Gama (only the last three I haven´t read yet). In
2003 the DBA got bankrupt and the Ediouro finished the collection.
