"Juan Belmonte, matador de toros" es la biografía del gran torero español de principios del Siglo XX escrita por Manuel Chaves Nogales, pero es también una obra maestra de la literatura española. Si la figura de Belmonte es interesante para los amantes del toreo, su vida y testimonio hasta 1934 ofrece alicientes también para quienes no lo son.

Si te gustan las biografías bien escritas, la historia y los relatos de superación, la vida de Belmonte y sus peripecias por España, Europa y América te atraparán. Descubrirás la vida de un hombre que superó su humildísimo origen en Triana para convertirse en una leyenda del toreo, que cambió para siempre. Descubrirás un profesional comprometido y reflexivo, un hombre singular e inseguro, hecho a sí mismo, una persona que se abre para que Chaves Nogales retrate de su mano ambientes, personalidades y un mundo en constante cambio. Esta obra se disfruta como una novela, pero está cargada de verdad, de la verdad de Belmonte y del mundo que le tocó vivir.

"Juan Belmonte, matador de toros" is the biography of the great Spanish bullfighter of the early 20th century, written by Manuel Chaves Nogales. But it is also a masterpiece of Spanish literature, perhaps its best biography. While Belmonte fascinates bullfighting enthusiasts, his life and testimony up to 1934 also appeal to a broader audience, offering a vivid portrait of an era.

If you enjoy well-written biographies and inspirational stories, Belmonte's thrilling journey through Spain, Europe, and the Americas will captivate you. You will discover the life of a man who overcame his humble origins in Seville to become a bullfighting legend. He was a thoughtful professional, as bold as insecure. This book is the canvas for a brilliant writer like Chaves Nogales to portray people, places, and a world in constant change. It reads like a novel, yet brims with truth, the truth of Belmonte and his time.
