Although he knows almost no English, Simonov has read a good deal of American literature in translation. While his reading seems to have centered around the more socially conscious novelists of the twenties and thirties--John Steinbeck, Upton Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis--his favorite contemporary author is Ernest Hemingway. "Hemingway writes about many of the same things I'm concerned with. He shows how war is a tragedy, something terrible and unnatural, and yet something which can bring out what is good and noble in people...
...smiles upon being presented with a third child, second daughter, Paola, by his wife, sometime Italian Actress Lucia Bose. But his face dropped when local newsstands suddenly blossomed with a Spanish edition of LIFE that contained the first installment of The Dangerous Summer, the account by grizzled Aficionado Ernest Hemingway of Dominguín's perilous rivalry with his brother-in-law, Matador Antonio Ordóñez, on the Spanish bullfighting circuit during the summer of 1959.

He has ished all over the world, once fired into a flight of blue-winged teal and killed eleven with a single shot. He even finds...

Sex was only one of the ardent hobbies pursued by Thomas Ernest Hulme, a brilliant young English intellectual who seemed to take all knowledge for his hobby. When a burst of shellfire killed Hulme on the Western Front in 1917, he was just 34, and had been successively a poet, philosopher, self-proclaimed political reactionary, militarist, and pet lion of his own literary salon. A huge, indolent man of lightning intelligence and wit who combined a Prussian officer's bearing with a contagious...
