| Summary | "Sangre y arena" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Juan Gallardo, a famous matador, who wrestles not only with the physical dangers of bullfighting but also with the pressures of fame and the expectations of those around him. As he prepares for a significant bullfight in Madrid, Gallardo grapples with his pride, ambitions, and superstitions, which are intertwined with the realities of his profession. The opening of "Sangre y arena" introduces us to Juan Gallardo as he prepares for a bullfighting event, reflecting on his morning rituals, his interactions with admirers, and his deep-seated anxieties. He experiences a blend of self-satisfaction and insecurity while awaiting the fight, highlighting his conflicts as a celebrated figure in the competitive world of bullfighting. Amid the supportive and sometimes intrusive presence of friends and fans, Gallardo contemplates his past and the danger looming ahead in the ring, setting the stage for a dramatic narrative filled with tension and emotional depth.
