Synopsis

Title: The Dangerous Summer
Author/Publisher: Ernest Hemingway
Publication Year: 1985
Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket, Illustrated

First published in 1985, Ernest Hemingway's 'The Dangerous Summer' stands as a captivating non-fiction account from one of the 20th century's most influential literary figures. This hardcover edition, presented here as a first edition, immerses the reader in a world of passion and peril, far removed from Hemingway’s celebrated fictional works.

The narrative transports us to the heart of Spain during the summer of 1959, where Hemingway closely followed the intense rivalry between two of the era's most celebrated matadors: his friend Antonio Ordóñez and his brother-in-law Luis Miguel Dominguín. It’s a compelling exploration of the artistry, danger, and deeply personal stakes involved in the world of the corrida.

• A Riveting Chronicle of the Corrida: Hemingway plunges readers into the intense and dangerous world of Spanish bullfighting, detailing the fierce rivalry between matadors Antonio Ordóñez and Luis Miguel Dominguín during the legendary summer of 1959.
• Hemingway's Keen Eye: Written with the author's characteristic precision and passion, the text offers an intimate, non-fiction exploration of courage, artistry, and mortality within the bullring.
• Illustrated Immersion: Enhancing the narrative, this volume features illustrations, providing a compelling visual complement to Hemingway's vivid descriptions of the Spanish spectacle.

As a first edition of this significant non-fiction work by Ernest Hemingway, 'The Dangerous Summer' offers a unique insight into a subject dear to the author's heart. It is a compelling addition for collectors of Hemingway's oeuvre and enthusiasts of adventure literature alike, reflecting a pivotal period in the life of a literary giant.
