Death In The Afternoon
In "Death in the Afternoon", Hemingway shares the sights, the sounds, the excitement, and above all, the knowledge which fuelled his passion for Spain and the bullfight. This remarkable book contains some of his finest writing, inspired by the intense life, as well as the inevitable death, of those hot, violent afternoons.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes the history and tradition of bullfighting, including the various roles of the people involved in the spectacle, such as the matador, the picador, and the banderillero. The second part provides a detailed explanation of the techniques and strategies used by the matador during the bullfight. The third and final part reflects on the nature of courage and its relation to bullfighting. "Death in the Afternoon" is known for its vivid and detailed descriptions of the bullfight, which Hemingway considered to be an expression of the deepest human emotions. The book also explores themes such as the nature of art, the role of tradition in society, and the relationship between life and death.
