Synopsis
Hemingway's Classic Portrait Of The Pageantry Of Bullfighting. Still considered one of the best books ever written about bullfighting,Death in the Afternoonreflects Hemingway's belief that bullfighting was more than mere sport.

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 Afternoonis 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., Hemingway's Classic Portrait Of The Pageantry Of Bullfighting.

- k***8 (16)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived as described in very good condition. Good value. It could have been wrapped better, with maybe some bubble wrap before it was just placed into a plastic envelope, because the end bent some due to shipping.From a Buick 8 by King, Stephen - Very Good (#156612370520)
- e***p (730)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe items itself was fine condition (as described) & a good value. As long as you don't care if the item arrives (or even ships) within the estimated time frame...or whether or not they reply to messages asking them why they haven't shipped yet, then this is a seller for you. They only engaged with a copy/paste message to say that they had a technical issue that delayed shipping...then made excuses about not replying to direct messages until after I opened issues on them due to being late.
