<FONT SIZE="+1">Hemingway's Classic Portrait Of The Pageantry Of Bullfighting.
</FONT>
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.

評分海明威說,檢驗一個鬥牛士勇敢的標準,是看他第一次被公牛牛角捅到大腿之後,能否同樣勇敢無懼的麵對鋒利牛角,能否繼續瀟灑自如地與公牛過招,而不是畏手畏腳。 為什麼鬥牛這樣一種在外行看來,在所謂現代文明人看來野蠻血腥的活動,還有人,甚至不乏海明威這樣的大傢為之著迷...
評分在讀這本書之前,我沒有看過一場鬥牛,沒有閱讀過任何跟西班牙鬥牛文化有關的文章,也沒有讀過這位大名鼎鼎的美國作傢任何一本書。2012年年初,我從圖書館的書架上抽齣瞭這本用硬紙闆裝幀,封麵隻有一幅鬥牛士疑似被牛角挑起飛在空中的簡筆畫,和右下角簡潔的書名——《死在午...
