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.

At this time of writing, The Ebook Death in the Afternoon has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Ebook is Good TO READ!

"Death in the Afternoon" is a non fiction account of bullfighting in Spain by Ernest Hemingway. The book combines a detailed, sometimes painful, account of bullfighting with the classic Hemingway writing style. In that context this book provides an interesting juxtaposition to Hemingway novels. While non fiction, there is definite evidence of the Hemingway literary style.Ernest Hemingway seemingly lived a life of the classic, so called, "man's man" and with that in mind some of this narrative is predictable. Mr. Hemingway does his best to portray bullfighting as a classic and honorable art form, while some readers may find the subject matter cruel and gruesome. There are also some brief asides about other subjects including homosexuality that seemed disparaging. Given the timeframe and the fact that the author is Hemingway, some of that is also predictable. I do not intend to defend bullfighting, but I did find the book educational and I am glad that I read it.I have previously read numerous Hemingway novels and one non fiction, "A Moveable Feast". As literature I liked this book very much and feel it is an interesting work to compare and contrast to "A Moveable Feast". Hemingway reveals a good bit about himself and one can tell when Hemingway has "an axe to grind".In summary, I liked this work as a reading experience and am definitely glad that I read it. I have no intention of defending bullfighting. There are other Hemingway works that I find distasteful, such as the novel "To Have and Have Not" and the short story "Up In Michigan", works that I did not like either as subject matter or as literature. That is not the case with this book. Thank You...
