15 years after the Civil War, Hemingway finally returned to Spain, the country that he said he loved more than any other except his own. With an evocation of Spain itself, and the dramatic depiction of a great and deadly rival between two bullfighters - Antonio Ordonez, the son of the great Cayetano portrayed in "The Sun Also Rises", and his brother-in-law Dominguin - this is Ernest Hemingway's account of his rediscovery of Spain, and a homage to the beautiful and deadly sport which was for him the noblest of all.
