Table of ContentsReviews[A]nyone who is the least bit curious about bullfighting should read this informative book. --Arts and Letters English is an expressive language, yet the word bullfighting fails to convey what is represented by toreo--which has to do with aristocratic bulls, brave men, the antiquity of Spain's national fiesta, the conflicting passions of the Spanish people over toreo, and their disposition toward a tragic perception of life, among other things. This latter quality is essential to McCormick's basic premise: that toreo is not sport, but art, even though every torero is not an artist, nor capable of being one. You do not see the high art of toreo every Sunday in the bullring, but when you do, you never forget it. --Richard O'Mara, Sewanee Review One of the best bullfight books of all time--in any language. --William Lyon, bullfight critic and author [A]nyone who is the least bit curious about bullfighting should read this informative book. </p> --<em>Arts and Letters</em></p> English is an expressive language, yet the word <em>bullfighting</em> fails to convey what is represented by toreo--which has to do with aristocratic bulls, brave men, the antiquity of Spain's national fiesta, the conflicting passions of the Spanish people over toreo, and their disposition toward a tragic perception of life, among other things.
