Lezers over Italian Dominoes, A Tiger from Vienna and The German Cyclone:

Alan Morris:
"I am happy to tell you that the book arrived yesterday and has already exceeded expectations. I think, the best yet. Many thanks. As for page 187 - ‘Lament’. Olé! You deserve to ‘salir a hombros’ for that masterpiece."

Tristan Wood (La Divisa, CTL):
"In Italian Dominoes... Pieter states: “Some of these stories I wrote to satisfy my curiosity, a few because they needed to be told, but most are just short stories, quite dark and serious, although most are heroic and wonderful. You could even say that some will make you smile.” His advice is to read one story a day, although I found the book somewhat harder to put down!"

Enrique Amat (Prólogo):
"El aficionado, escritor y diseñador holandés Pieter Hildering acaba de publicar un nuevo libro (¡su quinto ya!). En esta ocasión, se trata del titulado Dominos italianos, un tigre de Viena y el ciclón alemán. Editado en castellano y en inglés, a través de cerca de 200 páginas se refleja su particular y sugestiva visión de lo que es la tauromaquia. Con todo, esta colección de cuentos cortos, como así los titula el propio autor, aparte de tener importancia por las reflexiones que en ellas se hace sobre el mundo de los toros, también la tiene al ser un recorrido histórico por España y la personalidad y la sociología de los españoles."

David Lloyd Minella (Taurine Bibliophiles of America):
One can find it tedious to read some taurine books while this one is a real page turner. I have always admired writers of taurine material who blend Spanish culture with the bulls and this book is no exception.
From the state of the Fiesta at the turn of the 20th century to the Civil War that threatened the existence of ganadarias and the slaughter of Spanish citizens to the modern day fiesta of jet setting toreros and aficionados one gets a full picture of the past 100 years of torero and Spanish history. Mr. Hildering shares so much more than the bulls. The book could double as a reference to what hotels to avoid, good and bad food, and different versions of taurine offerings.
The book fills your mind and imagination with the Romantic aspects of Spanish culture and the Fiesta Brava. Lets support Mr Hildering efforts by buying this and other books written by him and enable him to share his afición with us in the future. This review doesn’t scratch the surface of what Mr. Hildering delivers to the reader.
