Summary

Published in 1958, The Death of Manolete is Barnaby Conrad’s photographic and narrative tribute to Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez, the legendary Spanish matador whose dramatic death in 1947 marked the end of an era in bullfighting. Drawing upon firsthand cultural familiarity and illustrated with striking period photographs, Conrad presents both the myth and the man behind one of Spain’s most revered and controversial figures.

Issued in a stated first printing by Houghton Mifflin, this volume reflects mid-century American engagement with Spanish spectacle and modern heroism. A visually compelling and historically grounded portrait of twentieth-century corrida culture.
