Literary World Cup – Part II

“In his life, a man can change wives, political parties or religions but he cannot change his favourite soccer team.” Eduardo Hughes Galeano

Halifax Public Libraries’ collection is so diverse that we have books to represent each soccer team in the ‪2014 FIFA ‎World Cup in Brazil! So we decided to have our own ‎Literary World Cup matchups with titles from our Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Multilingual collections.
