Still considered one of the best books ever written about bullfighting, "Death in the Afternoon" is an impassioned look at the sport by one of its true aficionados. It reflects Hemingway's conviction that bullfighting was more than mere sport and reveals a rich source of inspiration for his art. The unrivaled drama of bullfighting, with its rigorous combination of athleticism and artistry, and its requisite display of grace under pressure, ignited Hemingway's imagination. 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 a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great elegance and cunning. A fascinating look at the history and grandeur of bullfighting, "Death in the Afternoon" is also a deeper contemplation of the nature of cowardice and bravery, sport and tragedy, and is enlivened throughout by Hemingway's sharp commentary on life and literature.

評分雖然現在每天死於人手的動物,相當於古代幾年的屠宰量,多數人對殺生倒是越來越反感。對比采摘園的大熱,很少有人願意在屠宰場組織親子活動,因為血流滿地的場麵,和潔淨的都市生活格格不入。但如果是一個帥哥穿上浮誇的緊身衣,揮舞著猩紅鬥篷,再用利刃一劍刺穿公牛的心髒的...
評分一 在海明威關於西班牙鬥牛的專著《死在午後》的第十九章中,他列舉瞭數名當時的公牛殺手,將其情況研究綜閤後得齣:一名高明的公牛殺手須有“氣節、勇氣、強健的體格、優秀的作風”等品格,尤其是勇武的精神受到很大的重視。對於勇,海明威的區分極為細緻,比如尼卡諾...
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...
