The main character, Manuel Garcia, is a bullfighter who recently got out of the hospital and is now looking for work. After an old promoter, Retana, hires him for a fight on the following evening, he enlists the help of an old friend to be his. Although Zurito, his, strongly discourages Manuel, Manuel proceeds and is injured while fighting his first bull of the night.
A well written book for sure. The author's credit lies in the excellent description of bullfighting furnished.

Bullfighting is an extremely gruesome and inhuman sport to say the least. I wonder how people derive any pleasure from such atrocities against and innocent animal. Provoking and abusing!!! Is that sports???!!!

Provoking and abusing!!! Is that sports???!!! I personally thought that the real hero of the story was the bull. He was 1 against a team of about 8 men comprising the banderillos, picadors, matadors etc but quite remarkably despite the constant onslaughts of cruel weapons, the bull kept going. There was fight left in this brave beast right till the end.
No matter how injured, he did not give up. That's what the mettle of a hero ought to signify.to see a fight right through to the end. Kudos to the indomitable Campagnero!
