Miracle in SevilleRandom House, 1995 - 107 Seiten An American journalist is in Seville on assignment. He is to report on efforts the rancher Don Cayetano Mota is making to revive his once-proud line of bulls. But the story Shenstone discovers goes deeper into life's mysteries, even as it shakes the newspaperman's skepticism and opens his eyes to the wonders of faith. To return his bulls to honor, Don Cayetano Mota prays to the Virgin Mary and he takes on Herculean acts of devotion during the solemn celebrations of Holy Week. Convinced that his prayers will be answered, he endures his bulls' humiliation in the ring and the taunts of the arrogant matador Gomez. But Gomez, too, has a powerful woman on his side - his sister, a Gypsy fortuneteller. Foreseeing the danger her brother faces from a Mota bull, Magdalena is determined that in the bullring her brother will prevail. James A. Michener's lovely Miracle in Seville is enriched by twenty-six drawings that capture the beauty of Seville and the excitement of the bullfight. |
