The Old Man and the Sea

Meer over het boek

Told in language of great simplicity and power, 'The Old Man and the Sea' 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. Here Hemingway recasts the theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.
