""As the titled indicates, the books published by Editorial Lumen under the imprint Palabra e imagen (Words and Pictures) in the early 1960s looked to integrate text and photograph without one necessarily holding sway over the other. ... [this book] contained photographs by Oriol Maspons and Julio Ubiña taken at a Barcelona bar, where young boys would go to learn bullfighting. Many who trained like this knew they would never fight a real bull; it was play--toreo de salón--rather than serious, and the photographers approached it in this way. The boys rented an old bullfighter's costume, and the 'bull' was a skull and horns mounted on to a pair of wheels and pushed by the teacher in order to show them the complicated moves required by a real toreador. Cela was a dark, eminently serious writer, but he found some of the joyous and amusing tone that Maspons and Ubiña had caught in their nevertheless gritty images of these Barcelona kids fighting fictional bulls in the middle of the street."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger.

"Le titre dit tout: ces toreros de fantaisie sont des maniaques qui pratiquent dans leur salon "la tauromachie à blanc" et fantasment leur vie ratée. Une galerie de grotesques, à la Goya. F. Marmande a aimé la "triviale préciosité qui n'est que de l'Espagne" de ce livre qu'il considère "sans doute" comme "le meilleur" de Cela. (Ce n'est pas notre opinion)."
