INTO THE ARENA: THE WORLD OF THE SPANISH BULLFIGHT

Book ID/图书代码: 11701211B46205

English Summary/英文概要: Alexander Fiske-Harrison has spent a year travelling with bullfighters to watch them work in the bullrings and ranches of Spain. Along the way he has entered the ring and ran with the bulls in Pamplona and trained with world famous matador Eduardo Dávila Miuraand is on a personal quest to fight a bull in the ring with the aim of winning

Whether or not the artistic quality of the bullfight outweighs the moral question of the animals’suffering is something that each person must decide for themselves– as they must decide whether the taste of a steak justifies the death of a cow. But if we ignore the possibility that one does outweigh the other, we fall foul of the charge of self-deceit and incoherence in our dealings with animals.’Alexander Fiske-HarrisonIn a remarkable and controversial book Fiske-Harrison follows the tracks of a whole bullfighting year in Spain. He trains and takes part in the sport himself. He gives us memorable portraits of bull-fighters and bulls, of owners, trainers and fans – of a whole country. Fiske-Harrison offers a fully rounded and involving portrait of an art as performed for centuries and of the arguments that dog it today.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 亚历山大•费斯克•哈里森花费了一年的时间去游历西班牙的斗牛场与牧场去参观他们的工作。旅途中,他进入了西班牙竞技场在潘普洛纳(西班牙城市)与斗牛赛跑,并通过私人的要求与全世界最有名的斗牛士——爱德华达维拉一起训练,并以在竞技场中获得胜利为目标。是否斗牛的艺术,与动物所遭受的痛苦这个道德问题相比,更重要和更有价值。每个人都必须重新审视自己的决定,是否我们对于美味牛排的追求,就值得一头牛的死亡。但是,如果我们忽视了艺术与道德两者孰重孰轻这个问题,我们将要为我们自我欺骗的行为和语无伦次的语言负责,并在触犯和冲突中,与自然界的动物渐行渐远。在亚历山大•费斯克•哈里森的这本出色且充满争议的著作中,费斯克•哈里森遵循了西班牙斗牛比赛一整年的轨迹,他亲身经历了斗牛比赛。他给我们描绘了一副令人难忘的斗牛士与斗牛、训练者和追捧者的图景,他甚至将整个潘普洛纳都浓缩进了他的书中。费斯克•哈里森向读者展示了一个完整的、充满艺术表现力的故事,而故事中所体现的矛盾争论成为几个世纪的话题,直到今天依然是最具争议的话题之一。(兼职翻译-YZH)
