Adios to Tears

The Dangerous Summer

Ernest Hemingway

The Dangerous Summer is Hemingway's firsthand chronicle of a brutal season of bullfights. In this vivid account, Hemingway captures the exhausting pace and pressure of the season, the camaraderie and pride of the matadors, and the mortal drama as in fight after fight the rival matadors try to outdo each other with ever more daring performances. At the same time Hemingway offers an often complex and deeply personal self-portrait that reveals much about one of the twentieth century's preeminent writers.

The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge served as the thirtieth president of the United States, from 1923–1929. Famously taciturn, his nickname was “Silent Cal”—and his autobiography does nothing to disabuse him of that legend. Where Theodore Roosevelt’s autobiography is a weighty 214,000 words, and Ulysses S. Grant’s Personal Memoirs clock in at a hefty 273,000 words, this volume is a terse 44,000 words. Coolidge wastes no time in describing his childhood in Vermont where his father, a respected pillar of the community, raised him in an environment that valued hard work, modesty, and education. Though idyllic in setting, this upbringing is tinged with loss in the early deaths of his grandfather, mother, and sister. He then recounts his career in the law, followed by his speedy ascent into politics and the vice presidency under Warren G. Harding. When Harding dies suddenly in 1923 on a trip to San Francisco, Coolidge, who was visiting his family home, finds himself being sworn to the office of the President by his father, under the lamplight of a modest country house. His first abbreviated term ends with him a popular president, and, after winning the election in 1924, he ultimately declines to run for a second full term, stating that “If I take another term, I will be in the White House till 1933 … Ten years in Washington is longer than any other man has had it—too long!” Those starting this autobiography may expect it to focus on the time Coolidge spent as the most powerful man in the world, but Coolidge devotes few words to discussing the actual events that occurred during his presidency, preferring to talk about his upbringing and his broad views on government and character. He does, however, recount what a day in the life of the president looks like—and as one might expect, the average day is extremely busy and carefully scheduled. Despite its brevity, Coolidge’s autobiography reveals a portrait of a thoughtful, considerate man who cared much for his countrymen and held modesty and hard work as two of the most important traits a leader can have.
