Book Description
"From the lowest ranks of poverty to unprecedented heights of riches and popular acclaim-thus was the career of Juan Gallardo, Spanish bull fighter. In telling his story, Ibanez has achieved a novel even more dramatic and powerful than his legendary Four Horsemen. From his boyhood Juan longed to be a bull fighter and, as he climbs the ladder step by step, the reader lives with him in the very atmosphere of the arena. No detail of the picture is spared-one can see and almost hear the actual battle-the crowds-the many characters that stream through the pages. And Juan himself, with his vanities, his superstitions, his daring attacks, his wounds and recoveries, emerges as real, vital and colorful as the sport to which he and many others dedicated their lives."--Goodreads

A Frenchman, Marcelo Desnoyers, travels to Argentina in 1870 and marries the elder daughter of Julio Madariaga, the owner of a ranch. Eventually, Marcelo; his wife; and his children, Julio and Chichi, move back to France and live in a mansion in Paris. Julio turns out to be a spoiled lazy young man who avoids commitments and flirts with a married woman, Marguerite Laurier. Meanwhile, Madariaga's younger daughter has married a German man, Karl Hartrott, and the Hartrotts move back to Germany. The Desnoyers family and the Hartrott family are thus set against each other with the onset of the First World War. What will happen to the family now? Will there be any reconciliation or will the war destroy them all?

Book Description
The title of this novel "Woman Triumphant" captures the novel's spirit. The woman in this case is the protagonist's wife. The wife triumphs, resurrected in spirit to exert a powerful influence over the life of a man who had wished to live without her. Excerpt: "Renovales, the hero, is simply the personification of human desire, this poor desire which, in reality, does not know what it wants, eternally fickle and unsatisfied. When we finally obtain what we desire, it does not seem enough. "More: I want more," we say. If we lose something that made life unbearable, we immediately wish it back as indispensable to our happiness. Such are we: poor deluded children who cried yesterday for what we scorn today and shall want again tomorrow; poor deluded beings plunging across the span of life on the Icarian wings of caprice."

Book Description
gunos, equivocadamente, que mi novela es a modo de una satira del feminismo norteamericano. Como EL PARAISO DE LAS MUJERES ha sido traducida ya a varios idiomas, me decido a publicarla igualmente en espanol, aunque no pensase en ello cuando la escribi. Sera una obra mas dentro del marco de la novela espanola, la cual desde hace algunos anos no peca ciertamente por exceso de variedad. Los mas de los novelistas marchan en fila india, uno tras otro, y solo de tarde en tarde se les ocurre saltar un poco fuera del sendero. Mientras tanto, en los otros paises la novela procura renovarse y los autores cambian con frecuencia su manera de ver la vida y de expresar sus impresiones, para que no los "encasille" el publico, adivinando de antemano lo que pueden decir. Ademas, la novela es un genero de variedad infinita, y alli donde todos los novelistas describen lo mismo, con un lenguaje semejante, la novela corre peligro de muerte. Tal vez el presente libro sea considerado por muchos como una "equivo
