The Old Man and The Sea
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's immensely successful novels that confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. It won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and Nobel Prize in 1954. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, a young boy and a giant fish far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana. 'The best story Hemingway has written-----no page of this beautiful master-work could have been done better or differently.'
-Sunday 'Not only the finest long short story that Hemingway has ever written, but one of the finest written by anyone.'
-Listener 'A quite wonderful example of narrative art. The writing is as taut, and at the same time as lithe and cunningly played out, as the line on which the old man plays the fish.'
