| Description |
Frequently in the works of Ernest Hemingway the subject of bullfighters and bullfighting appears. Unlike most American minds which find something extremely distasteful about the whole idea, Hemingway was fascinated by the Spanish bullfight and it became one of his lifelong passions. In Death in the Afternoon, a handbook on the subject which explains the spectacle to English speaking people, Hemingway discusses every aspect of the sport with expert precision. In this book he explains that his fascination results from the "feeling of life and death and mortality and immortality," which the bullfight gives him. |
