Formated as the first issue. With a profusion of full-page photographs of the
bullfights. "In this book, Hemingway has brought into focus a great deal that
is significant about human living and dying, and about the trade called
literature, put into this book, [are] the profound and subtle reasons why
bullfighting is so wonderful to so many men, why it is moving and important and
exalting. By virtue of an undismayed and undeceived honesty he has been able to
see what actually happens during moments of overwhelming emotion when the exact
cause of the exaltation is usually unnoticed. There are episodes of gorgeous
comedy and satire, dicta about writing so honest and true, will very likely
become common axioms, so vivid and sincere and convincing is their
presentation."
