Descripción: Told in language of great simplicity and power, this story of courage and personal triumph remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most enduring works. The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simpl Críticas "A beautiful tale, awash in the seasalt and sweat, bait and beer of the Havana coast. It tells a fundamental human truth: in a volatile world, from our first breath to our last wish, through triumphs and pitfalls both trivial and profound, what sustains us, ultimately, is hope." --The Guardian "His masterpiece... a perfect piece of work." --Mario Vargas Llosa "The old man embodies the ambition and courage it takes to live, and the need to redeem yourself again and again in your own eyes. When at last after ntold agonies you hook the prize, the achievement of a lifetime, the biggest damn fish out there...it falls apart. The story is about the fact that life ends--a hard-to-ignore truth that we spend our days ignoring. All you have is the moment, this moment." --Abraham Verghese "Here is the master technician once more at the top of his form, doing superbly what he can do better than anyone else." --The New York Times Biografía del autor Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time.
