The capital of the world is one of the forty-nine stories that make up the anthology that Hemingway prepared in 1938.
The capital of the world is a story full of significant ellipsis, of silences to which the reader must put his own voice. It tells the story of Paco, one of the hundreds of Pacos who live in the capital of the world, an incredible Madrid, and who works as a waiter at the Luarca pension, along with two sisters. There lived second-class bullfighters, more aware of their appearance of prosperity than of anything else, ignoring the detail that they lived in a small pension.
Among the airs of the bar, Hemingway weaves the atmosphere that shows three bullfighters, two picadors and a banderillero, all of whom have fallen short. Of the three matadors, one is ill, another has fallen into disrepute and the third is a coward. Of the two picadors, one is a drunk and the other a rowdy. And the banderillero seems someone gray, without the bad luck of the others, but without greater abilities to procure a better destiny than the appearance of a modest businessman.
