Who was Hemingway's publisher for the novel that brought the festival of San Fermin to the attention of English speakers?
San Fermín The festival of San Fermín is a week-long, historically rooted celebration held annually in the city of Pamplona (in Navarre, Spain). The celebrations start at noon on the sixth of July, when the opening of the party is marked by setting off the pyrotechnic "chupinazo", and continue until midnight, on the fourteenth of July, with the singing of the "Pobre de Mí". While its most famous event is the encierro, or the running of the bulls, which happens at 8:00 AM from the 7th of July to the 14th July, the festival involves many other traditional and folkloric events. It is known locally as "Sanfermines" and is held in honor of Saint Fermin, the co-patron of Navarre. Its events were central to the plot of "The Sun Also Rises", by Ernest Hemingway, which brought it to the general attention of English-speaking people. It has become probably the most internationally renowned fiesta in Spain. Over 1,000,000 people come to participate in this festival.
Frank Davison (translator) Frank Davison was a British translator. He is best known for his translation of Alain-Fournier's classic novel "Le Grand Meaulnes" under the title "The Lost Domain". This translation, first published by Oxford University Press in 1959, has remained in print ever since. It is the "classic" translation of the work, praised for its "fine literary English." A review by L.A. Brisson in "French Studies" called Davison’s translation of Alain-Fournier's "Le Grand Meaulnes" “reussit a merveille” – “wonderfully successful.”
