Book Description
"From the lowest ranks of poverty to unprecedented heights of riches and popular acclaim-thus was the career of Juan Gallardo, Spanish bull fighter. In telling his story, Ibanez has achieved a novel even more dramatic and powerful than his legendary Four Horsemen. From his boyhood Juan longed to be a bull fighter and, as he climbs the ladder step by step, the reader lives with him in the very atmosphere of the arena. No detail of the picture is spared-one can see and almost hear the actual battle-the crowds-the many characters that stream through the pages. And Juan himself, with his vanities, his superstitions, his daring attacks, his wounds and recoveries, emerges as real, vital and colorful as the sport to which he and many others dedicated their lives."--Goodreads

Category :
Languages : es
Pages : 290
Book Description
gunos, equivocadamente, que mi novela es a modo de una satira del feminismo norteamericano. Como EL PARAISO DE LAS MUJERES ha sido traducida ya a varios idiomas, me decido a publicarla igualmente en espanol, aunque no pensase en ello cuando la escribi. Sera una obra mas dentro del marco de la novela espanola, la cual desde hace algunos anos no peca ciertamente por exceso de variedad. Los mas de los novelistas marchan en fila india, uno tras otro, y solo de tarde en tarde se les ocurre saltar un poco fuera del sendero. Mientras tanto, en los otros paises la novela procura renovarse y los autores cambian con frecuencia su manera de ver la vida y de expresar sus impresiones, para que no los "encasille" el publico, adivinando de antemano lo que pueden decir. Ademas, la novela es un genero de variedad infinita, y alli donde todos los novelistas describen lo mismo, con un lenguaje semejante, la novela corre peligro de muerte. Tal vez el presente libro sea considerado por muchos como una "equivo
