Hemingway considered matadors to be the manliest of men. He became quite the aficionado of bullfighting after seeing his first bullfight in Pamplona. Death in the Afternoon (1932) was a non-fiction book about the traditions and ceremony of bullfighting. In 1959, Hemingway wrote a series of articles for Life Magazine following two famous Spanish matadors – Luis Miguel Dominguín, who had returned to the bullring after several years of retirement, and Antonio Ordóñez, a rising young star. Less naturally gifted than Ordóñez, Dominguín’s pride and ego draws him into an intense rivalry with Ordoñez. The two matadors meet in the ring several times during that season. In 1985, an edited version of those articles was published as a posthumous book, The Dangerous Summer.
