Don't cry, Angelita. Tonight I'll buy you a House or I'll dress you in mourning'. So Said Manuel Benitez to his sister on the day of his Alternativa. The peasant from Palma Del Rio, who was to become the greatest torero of all.
Arrogant, athletic, magnificent, he was as quick and as cunning as Mohammed Ali, and he equalled Nureyev in youthful, aristocratic grace. Manuel Benitez had all that it took to break from the bonds of his background and become the type of hero that appear once in a lifetime.
Manuel Benitez, pauper, became El Cordobes, prince. The man with the world at his feet and death all about him, the village urchin who became adored, envied, imitated and dreamed about. His is the greatest rags-to-riches story ever.
