The Essential Guide
Marvin's account and explanation of the bullfight is the best account of the Corrida de Toros available in English. The author draws upon his own extended experience of the bullfight first hand, as an anthropologist that arrived in Andalusia to try to understand the importance of the bullfight in this culture. In his book, Marvin explains the history, symbolism and mechanics of the bullfight with intimate detail. Do NOT make up your mind about the Spanish bullfight before trying to understand it on the terms of the culture in which it is found. Save your self time wading through other books on this cultural phenomenon that is so misunderstood by other cultures. Read "Bullfight" first. It may not change your opinion but it will offer you an explanation and another way of seeing!
