In 1959, Hemingway returned to Spain to watch a series of bullfights by two great rival matadors, Ordonez and Dominguin.

It was his last major literary work and remained unpublished for nearly fourteen years after his death in 1961; illustrated with black & white photos; text is clean, tight, square; dustjacket shows minor rubbing and edgewear, no chips or tears. Scarce. Collectable.
