Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullfighting has long been perceived as an antiquated, barbarous legacy from Spain's medieval past. In fact, many of that country's best poets, philosophers, and intellectuals have accepted the corrida as the embodiment of Spain's rejection of the modern world. In his brilliant new interpretation of bullfighting, Adrian Shubert maintains that this view is both the product of myth and a complete misunderstanding of the real roots of the contemporary bullfight. While references to a form of bullfighting date back to the Poem of the Cid (1040), the modern bullfight did not emerge until the early 18th century. And when it did emerge, it was far from being an archaic remnant of the past--it was a precursor of the 20th-century mass leisure industry. Indeed, before today's multimillion-dollar athletes with wide-spread commercial appeal, there was Francisco Romero, born in 1700, whose unique form of bullfighting netted him unprecedented fame and wealth, and Manuel Rodriguez Manolete, hailed as Spain's greatest matador by the New York Times after a fatal goring in 1947. The bullfight was replete with promoters, agents, journalists, and, of course, hugely-paid bullfighters who were exploited to promote wine, cigarettes, and other products. Shubert analyzes the business of the sport, and explores the bullfighters' world: their social and geographic origins, careers, and social status. Here also are surprising revelations about the sport, such as the presence of women bullfighters--and the larger gender issues that this provoked. From the political use of bullfighting in royal and imperial pageants to the nationalistic "great patriotic bullfights" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this is both a fascinating portrait of bullfighting and a vivid recreation of two centuries of Spanish history. Based on extensive research and engagingly written, Death and Money in the Afternoon vividly examines the evolution of Spanish culture and society through the prism of one of the West's first--and perhaps its most spectacular--spectator sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra poética completa de uno de los escritores más influyentes de la literatura española. La figura de Federico García Lorca abarca, tanto en España como en el exterior, mucho más que su literatura. Su poesía, traducida a infinidad de lenguas, recorre paisajes, hurga en tradiciones y denuncia injusticias con la maestría de un escritor que utilizó la pluma como pocos, y sus libros continúan leyéndose sin atender al paso del tiempo ni a las arbitrariedades de la moda. En esta deslumbrante colección, el lector podrá recorrer el tramo completo de su obra poética: empezando con el joven Lorca en Libro de poemas, Canciones y Juego y teoría del duende, pasando por clásicos lorquianos como Romancero gitano, Poema del cante jondo, el impresionante poemario Poeta en Nueva York, así como Tierra y luna, Sonetos y Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, entre muchos otros. La edición y los prólogos otorgan al lector las herramientas necesarias para comprender y contextualizar al personaje, para acercarse a la complejidad de su obra y para disfrutar, en un sólo volumen, de uno de los autores españoles más relevantes del siglo XX. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The complete poetic work of one of the most influential writers in Spanish literature. The figure of Federico García Lorca encompasses, both in Spain and abroad, much more than his literature. His poetry, translated into countless languages, travels through landscapes, delves into traditions and denounces injustices with the skill of a writer who used the pen like few others, and his books continue to be read by multiple generations. In this dazzling collection, the reader will be able to go through the entire stretch of his poetic work: starting with the young Lorca in Book of Poems, Songs and Theory and Play of the Duende, passing through Lorca classics such as Gypsy Ballads, Poem of the Deep Song, the impressive poem Poet in New York, as well as Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, among many others. This edition and its prologues give the reader the necessary tools to understand and contextualize the author, to get closer to the complexity of his work and to enjoy, in a single volume, one of the most relevant Spanish authors of the 20th century.

Download or read book Bullfighting written by John McCormick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Hemingway, best-known to layman and aficionado alike, in his fiction described bullfighting, or toreo, as a cross between romantic risk and a drunken party, or as an elaborate substitute for war, ending in wounds or death. Although his descriptions of the "beauty"in toreo are lyrical, they are short on imaginative creation of how such beauty, through techniques and discipline, comes about. Hemingway may have sculpted a personal mystique of toreo but, in the opinion of some, he ignored or slighted the full, unique nature of the subject.In Bullfighting: Art, Technique, and Spanish Society John McCormick sorts through the complexities of toreo, to suggest the aesthetic, social, and moral dimensions of an art that is geographically limited, but universal when seen in round. While having felt the attraction of Hemingway's approach, McCormick knew that he was being seduced by elements that had little to do with toreo. To try to right Hemingway's distortions, he named the first edition of this book The Complete Aficionado, but then realized that the volume was directed at more than just the spectator: BullFighting is written from the point of view of the torerro, as opposed to the usual spectator's impressions and enthusiasm. With the help of a retired matador de toros, Mario Sevilla Mascarenas, who taught McCormick the rudiments of toreo as well as the emotions and discipline essential to survival, the authors rescue 'toreo from romantic cliches. They probe the anatomy of the matador's training and technique, provide a past-and-present survey of the traditions of the corrida, and furnish dramatic portraits of such famous figures as Manolete, Joselito, Belmonte, and Ordonez.Here then is an informed analysis and critique of the origins and myths of toreo and a survey of the novels it has inspired.
