It happens with a lot of arts men. Their personality, charisma, life, their name in short, eclipse their work. The character is born and everyone wants to take something from him. Hemingway´s San Fermin image; a Party lover, very fond of the bull life is not but another of so many images this American writer left us. There are many more. All of them, without exception show a piece of his life and the beginning of a legend. The republican Hemingway; the spy, the drunkard, the great writer, the hunter, Rooselvet´s guest, the Nobel prize, the war correspondent who was touched by the Gernika bombing, the Basque people´s friend in Cuba, the woman chaser, the loose man, the Basque pilota enthusiast, the Copper Virgin devotee…All of them appear in these pages led by the most diverse cicerones. The author did not want to be added to this wide list of stories about the polemic and cryptic Hemingway. He simply shows us by means of a large documentary and research work that death does not have to do with an author´s end and that a lot of times the legend characters are at the service of the interests of those who outlive them, recover them, re- invent them and get them on their carts; never being the truth an obstacle for it.
