PHOTO ALBUM OF THE EXHIBITION Talking is sharing a festive mood in Pamplona acquires its full dimension of 6 to 14 July each year. That is how Hemingway and reflected in literature and, modestly, as we have understood and tried to capture on the canvas in this monograph devoted to the celebration par excellence. This motley contrast exaggeration and tradition, music and devotion, bulls and wine and everything that allows the imagination, is what the Association ALFREDO SADA presents and discusses the personal and intimate view of each author. But this apparent disorder of styles and tastes reinforces the idea that all partake of that artistic beauty is not to represent a beautiful thing, but in the beautiful representation of a thing. And that’s our commitment. The Association as a group has made numerous presentations real and interpreting imagery and, above all, aware that art is not a goal but a way, serves to create personal relationships and always enriching for everyone to develop their talents, create , transcends and in the hierarchy of human needs, reach that higher level of self that allows us to deploy all our potentialities. Just that. We welcome and appreciate your time to those who wish to visit us and serve to encourage those who, like us, fills us. If for any reason is placed face to face with Ernest Hemingway and Pamplona, I can not help me any questions that points to an earlier time, beyond the fame that his book Fiesta. The sun also rises achieved in the 50’s and that catapulted step Pamplona, a small provincial town of Spain’s poor first quarter of the twentieth century the international literary scene and tourism. The first question is: why Pamplona Why Hemingway came to Pamplona The answer may be a little demystifying in principle and could lead us then to make a reflection on today’s San Fermin. Before arriving in Pamplona Hemingway had met elsewhere in Spain, Vigo above caused a pleasant impression, and had begun to feel some curiosity to know more places and learn more about the people who inhabit them. Thus in the spring of 1923 made a trip through various regions of Spain where he becomes impressed by what he saw. When her friend at the time, Gertrude Stein, speaks of the Pamplona festival no doubt a second and in the summer of that year visit Pamplona for the first time. Return to Pamplona love Paris, its people and its events and the following year in 1924 returns to Pamplona with two friends, a trio of two men and a woman, which caused problems between them and that will become the embryo of novel. Hemingway will return to the San Fermin in 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1931 and, after the war and its aftermath in 1953 and 1959. What met Hemingway in Pamplona To understand the writer have to think that in 1923 the First World War had just ended and the European landscape was bleak. Destroyed cities, industrial complexes converted into giant garbage, millions of people unemployed, mired in misery.
