Ernest Hemingway's most beloved and popular novel ever, with millions of copies sold--now featuring early drafts and supplementary material as well as a personal foreword by the only living son of the author, Patrick Hemingway, and an introduction by the author's grandson Seán Hemingway.

The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Wonderfully executed story!

This tale is soulfully told in the old man’s words. He is a strong characters who are with wise sentiments. One can feel the old man’s heartbreak as he relates what is happening. A wonderful classic that should be read by everyone at least once.

Ernest Hemingway … The Old Man and the Sea

I knew nothing about sport fishing for the super sized giants of the ocean. Especially nothing about fishing alone at sea in a small boat. I now know enough to be glad I wasn’t born a fisher! Good reading.

Still a powerful experience.

Some moments are hard read, you feel like you're right there! Well written, so descriptive. All the relationships were ponient, especially with the boy.

introspective of age and pain

If you are over 50, your perspective of the book is totally different that a teenager. Life is about trial and tribulations and those who endure or give up.
