The Dangerous Summer [Leather]

Descripción

Still sealed in publisher's shrinkwrap. Brown leather with 22 kt gold on cover, spine, and page edges. Hubbed spine, silk moire endpapers, silk book mark. 8vo. 228 pp. Glossary and intro by James Michener. The book charts the rise of Antonio Ordóñez (the son of Cayetano Ordóñez, the bullfighter whose technique and ring exploits Hemingway fictionalized in his novel, The Sun Also Rises) during a season of bullfights during 1959. During a fight on May 13, 1959, in Aranjuez, Ordóñez is badly gored but remains in the ring and kills the bull, a performance rewarded by trophies of both the bull's ears, its tail, and a hoof. By contrast, Ordóñez's rival Luis Miguel Dominguín is already famous as a bullfighter and returns to the ring after several years of retirement. Less naturally gifted than Ordóñez, his pride and self-confidence draw him into an intense rivalry with the newcomer, and the two meet in the ring several times during the season. Ships fast with tracking. N° de ref. del artículo F05-FNBBT5-0035
