Book excerpt: There's nothing more Spanish than bullfighting, and nothing that stirs up more judgements and emotions. For Spanish aficionados, it is an art form - balletic, highly skilled, beautiful - not a blood sport, and is covered by the Arts sections, not the Sports Pages, of Spanish papers. Bullfighters are treated like royalty, scrutinized and gossiped about endlessly for as long as they are in the public eye. For a fascinated observer like Lewine, the art of bullfighting proves to be one of the world's most venerable subcultures, seeped in ancient ritual, archetypal machismo, and the feverish attentions of the tabloid press... Lewine illuminates this art and the country it defines by spending a year with one of Spain's premier matadors and all-around celebrities, Francisco Rivera Ordonez. Francisco's grandfather was the greatest bullfighter of his day, whose exploits were chronicled in Hemingway's DEATH AND THE AFTERNOON. Francisco's father was also a distinguished matador, whose stellar career came to an abrupt end when he was impaled in the stomach by his bull when his son was only ten. scarred by his father's public death. Now, as the new season opens, he feels anxious of the pressure to live up to his family legacy. His life is complicated by the tabloid scrutiny of his personal life as he separates from his wife, an Italian duchess. Nonetheless, Fran manages a thrilling bloodless season: with early triumphs spoiled by a potentially career-ending injury and a difficult, yet convincing return to glory. Much as Alex Bellos' FUTBAL: A BRAZILIAN WAY OF LIFE unvelled Brazil through its national sport, DEATH AND THE SUN reveals Spain through its own national obsession, revealing it as few outsiders will have seen. It is a book that combines the tension of cliff-hanging narrative with the pleasures of travel writing, and the stimulation of a deep analysis of one country's ancient and thrilling way of keeping itself entertained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Whether or not the artistic quality of the bullfight outweighs the moral question of the animals' suffering is something that each person must decide for themselves - as they must decide whether the taste of a steak justifies the death of a cow. But if we ignore the possibility that one does outweigh the other, we fall foul of the charge of self-deceit and incoherence in our dealings with animals.' Alexander Fiske-Harrison In a remarkable and controversial book Fiske-Harrison follows the tracks of a whole bullfighting year in Spain. He trains and takes part in the sport himself. He gives us memorable portraits of bull-fighters and bulls, of owners, trainers and fans - of a whole country. Fiske-Harrison offers a fully rounded and involving portrait of an art as performed for centuries and of the arguments that dog it today.

Book excerpt: Julián Contreras Ordóñez, perteneciente a la más influyente dinastía de toreros de nuestro país, traza con franqueza, ternura y valentía un relato cercano e íntimo de su hermano mayor, Francisco Rivera, y mantiene con él largas conversaciones. A veces profundas, otras arrebatadoramente conmovedoras, en ocasiones divertidas o críticas pero siempre sinceras, este cara a cara nos hará conocer mucho mejor a un gran personaje —uno de los toreros más carismáticos del mundo—, pero también a una influyente figura pública de la que todos han hablado mucho pero a quien, sin embargo, muy pocos conocen. Sin cortapisas ni censuras, Francisco Rivera abre su corazón y nos revela mucho de sí mismo y de sus opiniones sobre un sinfín de cuestiones: desde su posición sobre el mundo actual de los toros a las más privadas e íntimas, como su hija, sus padres y hermanos, la duquesa de Alba, sus hobbies o sus ídolos. Este libro incluye, además, unos magníficos cuadernillos de fotografías inéditas y exclusivas provenientes del archivo personal de Francisco.

In this vivid account, Hemingway captures the exhausting pace and pressure of the season, the camaraderie and pride of the matadors, and the mortal drama—as in fight after fight—the rival matadors try to outdo each other with ever more daring performances. At the same time Hemingway offers an often complex and deeply personal self-portrait that reveals much about one of the twentieth century's preeminent writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Orchid Thief and The Library Book is back with this delightfully entertaining collection of her best and brightest profiles. Acclaimed New Yorker writer Susan Orlean brings her wry sensibility, exuberant voice, and peculiar curiosities to a fascinating range of subjects—from the well known (Bill Blass) to the unknown (a typical ten-year-old boy) to the formerly known (the 1960s girl group the Shaggs). Passionate people. Famous people. Short people. And one championship show dog named Biff, who from a certain angle looks a lot like Bill Clinton. Orlean transports us into the lives of eccentric and extraordinary characters—like Cristina Sánchez, the eponymous bullfighter, the first female matador of Spain—and writes with such insight and candor that readers will feel as if they’ve met each and every one of them. The result is a luminous and joyful tour of the human condition as seen through the eyes of the writer heralded by the Chicago Tribune as a “journalist dynamo.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part sports writing, part travelogue, this is a portrait of Spain, its people, and their passion for a beautiful yet deadly spectacle. A brilliant observer in the tradition of Adam Gopnik and Paul Theroux, Edward Lewine reveals a Spain few outsiders have seen. There's nothing more Spanish than bullfighting, and nothing less like its stereotype. For matadors and aficionados, it is not a blood sport but an art, an ancient subculture steeped in ritual, machismo, and the feverish attentions of fans and the press. Lewine explains Spain and the art of the bulls by spending a bullfighting season traveling Spanish highways with the celebrated matador Francisco Rivera Ordónez, following Fran, as he’s known, through every region and social stratum. Fran’s great-grandfather was a famous bullfighter and the inspiration for Hemingway’s matador in The Sun Also Rises. Fran’s father was also a star matador, until a bull took his life shortly before Fran’s eleventh birthday. Fran is blessed and haunted by his family history. Formerly a top performer himself, Fran’s reputation has slipped, and as the season opens he feels intense pressure to live up to his legacy amid tabloid scrutiny in the wake of his separation from his wife, a duchess. But Fran perseveres through an eventful season of early triumph, serious injury, and an unlikely return to glory. A New York Times Editor’s Choice Praise for Death and the Sun “May be the most in-depth, incisively written guide to bullfighting available in English. Every drunken sophomore riding the rails to Pamplona this summer ought to keep a volume in his backpack.” —New York Times Book Review “Lewine demonstrates knowledge of and respect for the matador’s dangerous profession. E also explores the history of Spaine and the charms and contradictions evident within the country’s exceptionally varied cultures and people.” —Boston Globe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incredible collection of celebrity stories and photographs from 1934 to the present, from the archives of "The Lyons Den" by eminent New York Post columnist Leonard Lyons, compiled by his son, movie critic Jeffrey Lyons. This amazing collection of choice anecdotes takes us right back to the Golden Age of New York City nightlife, when top restaurants like Toots Shor’s, “21,” and Sardi’s, as well as glittering nightclubs like the Stork Club, Latin Quarter, and El Morocco, were the nightly gathering spots for great figures of that era: movie and Broadway stars, baseball players, champion boxers, comedians, diplomats, British royalty, prize-winning authors, and famous painters. From Charlie Chaplin to Winston Churchill, from Ethel Barrymore to Sophia Loren, from George Burns to Ernest Hemingway, from Joe DiMaggio to the Duke of Windsor: Leonard Lyons knew them all. For forty glorious years, from 1934 to 1974, he made the daily rounds of Gotham nightspots, collecting the exclusive scoops and revelations that were at the core of his famous newspaper column, “The Lyons Den.” In this entertaining volume Jeffrey Lyons has assembled a considerable compilation of anecdotes from his father’s best columns, and has also contributed a selection of his own interviews with stars of today, including Penélope Cruz and George Clooney, among others. Organized chronologically by decade and subdivided by celebrity, Stories My Father Told Me offers fascinating, amusing stories that are illustrated by approximately seventy photographs. He so captured the tenor of those exciting times that the great Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg said: “Imagine how much richer American history would have been had there been a Leonard Lyons in Lincoln’s time.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As to Europe—keep it in a gray, ominous, evil fog.”—Ayn Rand (1905–1982) thus commented on the role of Europe in her key novel, Atlas Shrugged (1957). The same could be said of the way Europe features in her own biography and in the general perception of her persona. Even though Rand was born in pre-revolutionary Russia, she is nowadays considered anAmerican phenomenon, whose reach ends at the Atlantic shore. This book lifts the "gray fog" cast over her relationship with Europe, retracing the changing perception of the continent in both her fiction and thought. Her apparent lack of success with European readers is often explained by allegedly different reading tastes. However, a look at her publication history and reception shows that many factors played a role why her work found fewer European than US readers. Finally, an archipelago of European readers and admirers emerges which is testament to Rand's impact on European art and politics.
