Muerte En La Tarde / Death in the Afternoon [Spanish]

By Ernest Hemmingway

Una obra que refleja la fascinaci n del Premio Nobel de Literatura por las corridas de toros y una profunda reflexi n sobre el sentido tr gico de la vida.

En 1927, Hemingway public Fiesta, iniciando as una serie de novelas-reportaje relacionadas con su fascinaci n por el mundo de los toros. A esta sigui Muerte en la tarde (1932) que es, adem s de una descripci n t cnica y minuciosa de una corrida vista desde los ojos de un profano, un ensayo profundo y sin concesiones sobre el arte del riesgo y la estrecha relaci n entre vida y crueldad con el que Hemingway regresa, una vez m s, al tema que cohesiona su obra: el sentimiento tr gico de la vida y el instinto de autodestrucci n.

Jos Luis Castillo-Puche dijo...
«Solo su obsesi n por la muerte nos explica su afici n casi m stica a lo taurino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.

Still considered one of the best books ever written about bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon 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.

A fascinating look at the history and grandeur of bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon 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.
