Football has always measured success by what you win, but only in the last twenty years have clubs started to think about how you win. Data has now suffused almost every aspect of how football is played, coached, scouted and consumed. But it’s not the algorithms or new metrics that have made this change, it’s the people behind them.<br /><br />This is the story of modern football’s great data revolution and the group of curious, entrepreneurial personalities who zealously believed in its potential to transform the game. Central to this cast is Chris Anderson, an academic with no experience in football, who saw data as an opportunity to fundamentally change a sport that did not think it could be changed. His aim: to infiltrate the strange, insular world of professional football by establishing a club whose entire DNA could be built around data.<br /><br />Expected Goals charts his remarkable journey into the heart of the modern game and reveals how clubs across the world, from Liverpool to Leipzig and Brentford to Bayern Munich, began to see how data could help them unearth new players, define radical tactics and plot their path to glory.

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

《傲慢与偏见》描写傲慢的单身青年达西与偏见的二小姐伊丽莎白、富裕的单身贵族彬格莱与贤淑的大小姐吉英之间的感情纠葛，充分表达了作者本人的婚姻观，强调经济利益对恋爱和婚姻的影响。小说情节富有喜剧性，语言机智幽默，是奥斯丁小说中最受欢迎的一部，并被多次改编成电影和电视剧。

一个英国证券交易所的经纪人，本已有牢靠的职业和地位、美满的家庭，但却迷恋上绘画，像“被魔鬼附了体”，突然弃家出走，到巴黎去追求绘画的理想。他的行径没有人能够理解。他在异国不仅肉体受着贫穷和饥饿煎熬，而且为了寻找表现手法，精神亦在忍受痛苦折磨。经过一番离奇的遭遇后，主人公最后离开文明世界，远遁到与世隔绝的塔希提岛上。他终于找到灵魂的宁静和适合自己艺术气质的氛围。他同一个土著女子同居，创作出一幅又一幅使后世震惊的杰作。在他染上麻风病双目失明之前，曾在自己住房四壁画了一幅表现伊甸园的伟大作品。但在逝世之前，他却命令土著女子在他死后把这幅画作付之一炬。通过这样一个一心追求艺术、不通人性世故的怪才，毛姆探索了艺术的产生与本质、个性与天才的关系、艺术家与社会的矛盾等等引人深思的问题。同时这本书也引发了人们对摆脱世俗束缚逃离世俗社会寻找心灵家园这一话题的思考，而关于南太平洋小岛的自然民风的描写也引人向往。《月亮和六便士》说问世后，以情节入胜、文字深刻在文坛轰动一时，人们争相传看。在小说中，毛姆用第一人称的叙述手法，借“我”之口，叙述整个故事，有人认为这篇小说的原型是法国印象派画家高更，这更增加了它的传奇色彩，受到了全世界读者的关注。
