This is a stunning collection of photographs documenting a month in the life of Joselito - the greatest Matador of modern times. Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's 1932 literary exploration of the art of bullfighting, and curious as to what really goes on in the hearts and minds of the fans and participants, renowned photographer Sandro Miller spent an entire month travelling Spain with Jose Miguel Arroyo Delgado - known as Joselito, and considered by many to be the greatest Matador of his generation - to experience firsthand this centuries old ritual encounter between man and bull. The result, "El Matador", is gloriously illustrated volume that reveals not only the courage and passion of the matador, but also the deeply held respect they have for the animals they face.
