New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1932. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First edition. Near fine in a presentable good dustwrapper with shallow chipping at the extremities and a chip along the top of the rear panel that is about 1½" at its deepest point. Hemingway's favorite among his books, an exploration of professional bullfighting, a spectacle he saw more as a heroic, tragic ceremony than as sport. A flawed but not displeasing copy.

Death in the Afternoon is a non-fiction book by Ernest Hemingway about the ceremony and traditions of Spanish bullfighting. It was originally published in 1932.
