An aficionado himself, Lewine brilliantly captures the romance and machismo associated with the art of bullfighting, as well as the addictive adrenaline rush that persistently beckons spectators and matadors to the bullring. Anchored on the persona of Spain’s most famous torero, ancesco Rivera Ordóñez—the greatgrandson of the bullfighter who was the inspiration for Pedro Romero in The Sun Also Rises—the book reveals a Spain few outsiders have seen. Vividly written, this is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding Spanish culture as it is reflected in the country’s passion for this beautiful yet deadly spectacle. 505226 2005 Death and the Sun: A Matador's Season in the Heart of Spain total:9|5:3|4:2|3:2|2:1|1:1| 9 32 16 1 5 0 false false Mon Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 16:44:32 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 16:33:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Wed Oct 07 17:50:12 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 17:50:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 07 15:24:50 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 15:24:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 13:26:55 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 13:26:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 31 12:39:18 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 12:39:26 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 18 05:50:34 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 05:50:37 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Nov 28 11:04:03 -0800 2008 Wed Jul 02 15:34:39 -0700 2008 Fri Nov 28 11:04:03 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jun 25 13:21:05 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 13:21:09 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jun 14 06:01:29 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 06:01:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Feb 03 12:30:16 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 03 12:30:21 -0800 2008 5 0 true false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 11:41:51 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 11:43:18 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Aug 05 10:59:08 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 10:59:13 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri Jul 20 08:55:36 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 20 08:55:36 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Jul 11 12:17:44 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 12:17:48 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Jun 22 15:05:03 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 15:05:03 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 01 15:44:46 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 08 19:47:24 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=517293
