«Muerte en la tarde» is Ernest Hemingway's essay on bullfighting, published by Seix Barral in paperback (298 pages, in Spanish).
Hemingway analyzes the bullfight as more than a sport: he describes its phases and technique, and presents the contest between bullfighter and bull as a duel of beauty and danger. From that ceremony, he reflects on courage, cowardice, cruelty and the tragic sense of life, and adds observations on literature and the writer's condition.
Work originally published as «Death in the Afternoon» in 1932. Belongs to Seix Barral's Literatura Contemporánea collection, number 44.
For fans of Hemingway, the history of bullfighting and classic twentieth-century essays.
