“Matador” is the first part of the new novel by Luis Rivera, which tells the story of the fate of a man who did not give up his dream, despite the obstacles on the Path erected for him by Fate. To gain the right to hope, the hero will have to go through countless fights with bulls, misfortunes and hardships, to know the joy of love and the bitterness of loss. Where and in what will he find strength and inspiration? He has only a dream and courage - can he change his fate?.. “It was supposed to be a story about death. Instead, I wrote about love. However, who can clearly distinguish the line that separates one from the other? All attempts to do this have failed miserably in the face of the incomprehensibility of these phenomena. If something cannot be known, how can one identify any signs by which this “something” will differ from another “something”? So it may well be that this book is about death after all. It's just that real death is indistinguishable from love. That's all I wanted to say at the beginning." Luis Rivera.
