Time isn't a toy to be played with. It's bigger than all of us. It exists outside the artificial & arbitrary divisions into which humankind has presumptuously shoehorned it. It needs to elastic. To understand truly you have to see time as the most important resource we have. You mess with it at your peril. You can let it move fast or slowly but what you mustn't do is allow it to stop. Because when time stands still everything stops with it. Then there really is no future. & where would we be without one of those? ...

Thierry Henry -- gifted charismatic & a genuinely world class footballer -- has always been a prolific goalscorer of natural apparently effortless brilliance. Impossibly good on his day he has passed into Arsenal legend as the hero of a team that finally ended Manchester United's domination winning two league titles & three FA cups. He was also instrumental in France's World Cup & European Cup glories in 1998 & 2000 (becoming France's record goalscorer) & continued his incredibly successful career at Barcelona by winning the treble in his second season. But as he approached the autumn of his career Thierry's crown began to slip -- from the infamous ' Hand of Gaul' incident to a dismal World Cup 2010 campaign. Suddenly for the first time a player who Arsene Wenger once dubbed 'the greatest striker ever' was not universally loved & admired. A man who had spent his career at the very top of the game raised above his peers on a torrent of extraordinary statistics & trophies began to learn how lonely such a position could be. So who is the real Thierry Henry? Drawing from numerous interviews & impeccable sources as well as his own observations over the course of Henry's entire career award-winning author Philippe Auclair has produced the most complete portrait of the Arsenal hero ever to be written. Clear-eyed lyrical & passionately argued Thierry Henry: Lonely at the Top is a biographical essay in the fullest sense of the word -- & as raw shocking & thought-provoking as it is celebratory of Henry's outstanding flair & talent. ...
