Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia de la tauromaquia

Did you know that bullfighters went on strike to be able to fight bulls on Sundays? That the Osborne bull was defended as cultural heritage before the Supreme Court? That bullfighting even made its way into international advertising campaigns for brands as well-known as Coca-Cola, Adidas, and Johnnie Walker? That there was even a bullfighting betting pool? That the Fiesta has been present in places as unexpected as the Vatican, New York, and Japan? That there were attempts to ban bullfights for religious, political, or moral reasons long before the current debates? Or that the last afternoon of the great bullfighting legends was surrounded by a strange curse? The history of bullfighting is full of surprising episodes and unusual characters that rarely appear in books. Beyond the great figures and memorable performances, there is a whole world of little-known stories that forms an essential part of bullfighting culture and the history of Spain and Latin America. With rigor, passion, and a profound knowledge of the world of bullfighting, Francisco Gordón Suárez brings together real, documented, and often forgotten stories that reveal the extent to which bullfighting has influenced politics, law, society, literature, advertising, and everyday life. It is an invitation to discover the lesser-known side of a unique tradition, whose legacy is an inseparable part of our cultural history.
