As a ragged boy, he haunted the slaughterhouses, dreaming of the arena. Through raw talent and reckless daring, he vaulted to the top, skipping the traditional hierarchy of the bullfighting profession. He amasses wealth, buys land, and marries Carmen, a devoted woman who cannot bear to watch him fight. He is the idol of the masses, worshipped by the same crowds who will one day turn on him. But fame feeds his vanity, and his vanity leads him into the arms of Doña Sol, a predatory aristocrat whose cold, capricious desire for him mirrors the fickle adoration of the public.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThis is Blasco Ibáñez at his most fierce and ironic: a novel about the seductive allure of the arena and the sinister machinery that fuels it.
