  |Book description|

 

DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON is Ernest Hemingway's classic work on the art of bullfighting. It tells of the bullfighters and the bulls, the bravery and cowardice, the pageantry and the history -- enlivened by Hemingway's pungent comments on life and literature.
Hemingway developed his own original style of extraordinary clarity, subtlety and power. His work all deals with timeless themes of human courage and endurance.

“生活与斗牛差不多。不是你战胜牛,就是牛杀死你。”

  ———海明威《死在下午》(《DEATHINTHEAFTERNOON》)“我过去看过斗牛,我觉得那非常的暴力,但是今天我非常的高兴他们不再宰杀牛了,今天我还带了我们的孩子一起来看。”“现在有更多的需要来改变这项传统运动。我认为斗牛是很有意思的事情。我很高兴它不血腥,他们不需要杀任何一头牛就已经很有意思了。”


About Author

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in Chicago in 1899 as the son of a doctor and the second of six children. After a stint as an ambulance driver at the Italian front, Hemingway came home to America in 1919, only to return to the battlefield - this time as a reporter on the Greco-Turkish war - in 1922. Resigning from journalism to focus on his writing instead, he moved to Paris where he renewed his earlier friendship with fellow American expatriates such as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Through the years, Hemingway travelled widely and wrote avidly, becoming an internationally recognized literary master of his craft. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.

厄内斯特·海明威(Ernest Hemingway) 1899年出生于芝加哥。父亲克拉伦斯·海明威是镇医院的一名外科医师,厄内斯特·海明威是他的长子。1918年一次大战末期,他以记者身份参加美国红十字会的战地服务队,开赴意大利前线,直到停战后才于1919年初带着遍体伤疤回到美国。战争的残酷恐怖同时在他的心灵深处留下了难以磨灭的创伤,也对他的文学创作产生了深刻的印象。他以长篇巨著《丧钟为谁而鸣》赢得了世界声誉,嗣后又在55岁时以一个不到六万字的中篇小说《老人与海)压倒所有候选的世界级文豪,获得了1954年诺贝尔文学奖金,使他在世界文坛上的名望和地位达到了巅峰。1958年,海明威迁返美国爱达荷州疗养,和高血压、糖尿病等痼疾“搏斗”了将近三年。最终决心主动地摆脱病榻上的痛苦祈磨,在1961年7月用他心爱的双管猎枪结束了自己的生命。
