~ Slim Paperback
Cherished for generations of readers the short novel The Old Man and the Sea is the superbly told, tragic story of a down-on-his-luck Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream . . .
In The Old Man and the Sea Hemingway takes on the timeless themes of courage in the face of adversity and personal triumph won from loss, and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic.
