“The best short story Hemingway has written… no page of this beautiful master-work could have been done better or differently.” Sunday Times
Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway’s magnificent fable is the story of an old man, a young boy and a giant fish. It was The old man and the Sea that won for Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature. Here, in a perfectly crafted story, is a unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of a man’s challenge to the elements in which he lives.
