The Capital of the World by Ernest Hemingway -- Review

Ernest Hemingway in his story "The Capital of the World '' describes the life of simple people who lived in Madrid in the previous century. 

The main character of the story is a young waiter apprentice in the hotel Paco,  eager to be a matador.

Hemingway tells about other people who were in this hotel as guests and employees. This is a cheap hotel and everyone has their own reason for being there: bullfighters who were successful in the past but have problems now, visitors and staff.

Readers can see a realistic and also pessimistic picture of life in a very big city, "the capital of the world" as probably ironically called by the author.

The end of the story was unexpected. But on the other hand, readers are waiting in suspense for what would happen. Let’s see in the text ...
