I just finished Barnaby Conrad's book, "The Death of Manolete." It is uncanny how much Adrien Brody resembles Manolete—except for the scar on Manolete's left cheek from a previous bullfight wound. The book has fantastic pictures of Manolete and his final fight. It tells the story of the rivalry between Manolete (at that point on the downhill side of his career) and the arrogant newcomer, Dominguin. It will be interesting to see how the movie portrays Manolete's girlfriend's desire for him to continue to fight while he wanted to quit. It will also be interesting to see how Adrien Brody depicts Manolete's famous coup de grace over the bull's horns and front shoulders. The move ultimately led to his death. Check out the book, "The Death of Manolete" by Barnaby Conrad published by Pippin Publishing, www.pippinpublishing.com.
Why is Barnaby Conrad an important author for this book? What makes "The Death of Manolete" definitive? Mr. Conrad knew Manolete. He trained as a torero with him. He has first hand knowledge of the man and the events leading up to his death. How many living acquaintances of Manolete can there be remaining in the world? Not too many.
