Description

Go beyond the romanticized descriptions found in classic fiction. While famous authors like Ernest Hemingway portrayed bullfighting as a mix of risk and ritual, their lyrical accounts often missed the specific discipline required for the craft. Bullfighting: Art, Technique and Spanish Society provides a deeper look into the reality of toreo. This book moves past the personal mystique to explore how the beauty of the spectacle is actually achieved through rigorous technique and discipline. It offers a perspective that addresses what many previous writers overlooked or slighted regarding the subject. Readers will find a study that examines the true nature of the practice within the context of Spanish society. Whether you are an aficionado or a student of performing arts, this work provides a necessary look at the technical and social foundations of this complex tradition.
