<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Ernest Hemingway's classic exploration of the history and pageantry of bullfighting, and the deeper themes of cowardice, bravery, sport and tragedy that it inspires.</b> <p/>Still considered one of the best books ever written about bullfighting, <i>Death in the Afternoon</i> reflects Hemingway's belief that bullfighting was more than mere sport. Here he describes and explains the technical aspects of this dangerous ritual, and the emotional and spiritual intensity and pure classic beauty that can be produced by a man, an animal, and a piece of scarlet serge draped on a stick. Seen through his eyes, bullfighting becomes an art, a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great grace and cunning. <p/>A fascinating look at the history and grandeur of bullfighting, <i>Death in the Afternoon</i> is also a deeper contemplation on the nature of cowardice and bravery, sport and tragedy, and is enlivened throughout by Hemingway's pungent commentary on life and literature.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time.
