âA 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.â âThe Guardian
The last of his novels Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the most enduring works of American fiction. The story of a down-on-his-luck Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordealâa relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Streamâhas been cherished by generations of readers.
Hemingway takes 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. First published in 1952, this hugely popular tale confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature.

En klassiker. Mycket skön röst av Donald Sutherland.

VÀldigt lÄngsam bok som Àr svÄr att hÀnga med i. Hemingway anvÀnder isbergstekniken men det gör det Ànnu svÄrare att interesseras för bokens innehÄll nÀr man inte förstÄr liknelserna. Boken Àr förmodligen mest interessant för de som fiskar.
