Death and the Sun: A Matador's Season in the Heart of Spain Tapa blanda - 2007
de Edward Lewine
Peril and tradition mingle in this account of a thrilling season on the bullfighting circuit in the company of Spain's most dashing and tormented matador, Francisco Rivera Ordoez. Lewine explores one of the world's most venerable subcultures, steeped in ancient ritual, archetypal machismo and the feverish attentions of the tabloid press.
Resumen
In the tradition of Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon, Edward Lewine presents an inspired account of bullfighting culture in modern-day Spain. Lewine brilliantly captures the romance and machismo associated with the art of bullfighting, as well as the addictive adrenaline rush that persistently beckons spectators and matadors to the bullring. He spends a season traveling with the celebrated matador Francesco Rivera Ordonez -- the great-grandson of the bullfighter who was the inspiration for Hemingway's Pedro Romero in The Sun Also Rises -- and reveals a Spain few outsiders have seen. Death and the Sun is an illuminating portrayal of a country, its people, and their passion for this beautiful yet deadly spectacle.

Descripción:
Houghton Mifflin, 2007. Softcover. Like New. 5x0x8. A brilliant observer in the tradition of Adam Gopnik and Paul Theroux, Edward Lewine reveals a Spain few outsiders have seen. There's nothing more Spanish than bullfighting, and nothing less like its stereotype. For matadors and aficionados, it is not a blood sport but an art, an ancient subculture steeped in ritual, machismo, and the feverish attentions of fans and the press.
