Death in the afternoon

This non-fiction book is Hemingway’s tribute to and justification of what he saw as the art and skill of bullfighting. Together with a potted history of bullfighting the author adds his views on what makes it more than a mere spectacle, elevating it to a ritualized display of courage encompassing everything a man needs to know about life and death.
