En Los héroes numerados, el futbol se convierte en un juego de las palabras gracias al ingenio de Juan Villoro, «un excepcional intérprete y narrador de las realidades sociales, culturales y políticas de México, América Latina y el mundo», jurado del Premio Gabo 2022.

El 10 de Pelé, Maradona o Messi; el 7 de Cristiano Ronaldo o Álex Aguinaga; el 14 de Johan Cruyff... Los héroes de las canchas llevan números en la espalda. Juan Villoro hace un repaso por esas figuras de rango mítico. Cuando los representantes de la tribu saltan al césped «lo que está en juego ya no es un deporte. A partir de ese momento comienza a suceder algo distinto, único, inclasificable: el misterio que llena los estadios».

Villoro aborda las grandes hazañas de los mundiales, los casos de sobornos, negocios ilícitos y violencia deportiva, así como el papel de la tecnología y el protagonismo que han asumido las mujeres en el deporte más popular del mundo. El futbol y la literatura se funden para mirar de frente aquello que más nos emociona: una exploración del juego, pero también de las costumbres públicas y secretas de la sociedad contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Los héroes numerados, soccer becomes a game of words thanks to the wit of Juan Villoro, "an exceptional interpreter and narrator of the social, cultural, and political realities of Mexico, Latin America, and the world," juror of the 2022 Gabo Prize.

The number 10 of Pelé, Maradona, or Messi; the 7 of Cristiano Ronaldo or Álex Aguinaga; the 14 of Johan Cruyff... The heroes of the pitch carry numbers on their backs. Juan Villoro revisits these figures of mythical stature. When the tribe's representatives step onto the field, "what is at stake is no longer just a sport. From that moment on, something different, unique, unclassifiable begins to happen: the mystery that fills the stadiums."

Villoro explores the great feats of the World Cups, cases of bribery, illicit business, and sports violence, as well as the role of technology and the prominence women have assumed in the world's most popular sport. Soccer and literature merge to confront what moves us most: an exploration of the game, but also of the public and secret customs of contemporary society.

Great For Eczema and Moisturizing
happy I purchased, seen it for a while and wanted to try something natural for my Eczema, and I must say after just a few applications my skin has cleared up I'll definitely re order. It is a little on the loose, greasy side so you really only need to use just a dab but, it is a good moisturizing agent but it does work very well.

Amazing product for hand eczema
I've been seeing ads for this product for a while and finally decided to try it. I'm so glad I did! It's by far the best hand cream I've found for eczema. It doesn't sting at all, and my hands already look and feel so much better.

Best Product for Dry Skin!
Yes! This is the BEST product for dry skin I can’t live without it now! I have mild eczema and this is one of the best products that helps. It’s very calming, I sometimes mix it with a coconut oil too and I put it everywhere it makes my skin glow too! My friend was having the same issue and I recommended it to her and she messaged me right away saying it’s the only thing working for her. I also love the bubble bath products from the same company!

Effective but slightly greasy
I purchased this for my brother, who has been suffering from eczema and psoriasis for over a decade, and he's never been able to find a product that works for him for longer than a few weeks. The product had already leaked and wasn't packed properly when it arrived, so the sides of the jar were extremely greasy. Absorption is great - it looks like the skin drinks it right up, if applied nominally. I can't speak to long-term effects yet, but there is an immediate reduction in redness and flakiness. Itching does not subside.

Highly recommend! Lifesaver for sensitive dry eczema
Bought this with their face wash, no regrets. My sensitive, peeling eczema face was getting red and uncomfortable (not to mention peeling no matter what special Derm sample products I tried). This is THICK. A little goes a long way. I pat it into my face and dry eczema patches after using the face wash. It lasts awhile, love that it contains aloe. My redness and literal peeling nose, cheek and chin are 80% better after using 2wks. Immediately felt better with first use. Cannot really use under makeup! This is heavy and a bedtime product.
