Chaves Nogales met Juan Belmonte shortly before publishing this
book, and, even though he was not a bullfighting aficionado, the
two men hit it off immediately. His warmth, fighting spirit, and
conciliatory mood, rare in Spanish society at the time, were some
of the qualities that attracted the author and inspired him to
write the famous bullfighter's biography. In the narration, the
voices of the biographer and the subject blend together, so that it
is difficult to discern when one begins to speak and the other
stops, and this style makes Belmonte's memories unravel with
astonishing ease: his infancy in Seville, the difficult years
dedicated to learning, the picturesque aspects of the bullfighting
and literary circles, fame, his rivalry with Joselito. This is the
acute and faithful testimonial of an era, a masterpiece resulting
from the encounter between two extraordinary people: Juan Belmonte,
founder of modern bullfighting, and Chaves Nogales, one of the most
important Spanish journalists of the first half of the twentieth
century. "Chaves Nogales habia conocido a Juan Belmonte poco tiempo
antes de la publicacion del libro y, aunque no era aficionado a los
toros, los dos hombres congeniaron enseguida. La calidad humana del
personaje, su espiritu de superacion y su talante conciliador, raro
en la crispada sociedad espanola de la epoca, fueron algunas de las
cualidades que atrajeron al autor y que le animaron a escribir una
biografia del famoso torero. En la narracion las voces de biografo
y biografiado se mezclan, sin que se sepa donde empieza a hablar
uno y donde acaba el otro, y fruto de este genial planteamiento los
recuerdos de Belmonte se suceden con asombrosa naturalidad: su
infancia sevillana, los anos de durisimo aprendizaje, el
pintoresquismo de los circulos taurinos y literarios, la fama, su
rivalidad con Joselito. Este es el testimonio agudo y fiel de una
epoca, una obra maestra fruto del encuentro entre dos personas
extraordinarias: Juan Belmonte, fundador del toreo moderno, y
Chaves Nogales, uno de los periodistas espanoles mas importantes de
la primera mitad del siglo XX."
After a successful tour of the Central European cabarets, flamenco
dancer Juan Martinez and his partner Sole were caught by surprise
in Russia by the revolutionary events of February of 1917. Unable
to leave the country, in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kiev they
suffered the fall-out of the October Revolution and the bloody
civil war that followed. The great Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves
Nogales met Martinez in Paris and, shocked by the stories he
shared, decided to compile them. The result is this book which
narrates the changes the protagonists were faced with and how they
figured out a way to survive. Its pages include traveling artists,
prodigal Russian dukes, German spies, Chekist assassins, and
speculators of a different ilk. "Despues de triunfar en los
cabarets de media Europa, el bailarin flamenco Juan Martinez, y su
companera, Sole, fueron sorprendidos en Rusia por los
acontecimientos revolucionarios de febrero de 1917. Sin poder salir
del pais, en San Petersburgo, Moscu y Kiev sufrieron los rigores
provocados por la Revolucion de Octubre y la sangrienta guerra
civil que le siguio. El gran periodista sevillano Manuel Chaves
Nogales conocio a Martinez en Paris y asombrado por las peripecias
que este le conto, decidio recogerlas en un libro. El resultado es
esta obra que relata las vicisitudes a las que se vieron sometidos
sus protagonistas y como se las ingeniaron para sobrevivir. Por sus
paginas desfilan artistas de la farandula, prodigos duques rusos,
espias alemanes, asesinos chequistas y especuladores de distinta
calana. "
