El arte de Birlibirloque is an essay by José Bergamín that explores bullfighting from a unique and personal perspective. Bergamín, a prominent figure of the Generation of '27, offers a subtle and passionate defense of the art of bullfighting, calling it 'birlibirloquesco art'. This edition includes a prologue by Morante de la Puebla, adding a contemporary perspective to the classic work. The book, unclassifiable between aphoristics and essayism, reflects the connection between the Spanish intelligentsia and the bullfighting world during the Silver Age.
José Bergamín Gutiérrez was a Spanish writer, essayist, poet, and playwright. His father served as president of the canton of Málaga; his mother was a Catholic. Bergamín was influenced by both politics and religion and attempted to reconcile Communism and Catholicism throughout his life, remarking "I would die supporting the Communists, but no further than that."
