The Old Man and the Sea
Hemingway, Ernest

Language: English | Category: Novel (Adventures) | Audio Book: Not Available

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway’s most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it 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, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Hemingway, Ernest - El viejo y el mar - Language: Spanish, Novel - Format: ePub, iSilo
El viejo y el mar (The Old Man and the Sea) es una novela escrita por Ernest Hemingway en 1951 en Cuba y publicada en 1952. Fue su último trabajo de ficción importante publicado en vida y posiblemente su obra más famosa. Un viejo (More) lobo de mar está pasando una racha de mala suerte: hace 84 días que no logra capturar un solo pez. Todos los habitantes del pueblo se burlan de él, excepto un niño, que le mira y ayuda. Ambos deciden que el día siguiente será bueno para la pesca del pez espada. Todavía es de noche cuando se levanta, prepara los aparejos y se lanza a la mar con su pequeña barca. En alta mar, el viejo pone diversas carnadas. De pronto, la línea comienza a moverse. El viejo no puede controlarla. Se trata de un gigantesco pez espada. Cuatro horas más tarde, el pez se sacude en la superficie del agua y arrastra a la barca. El viejo lo sostiene con el sedal enrollado alrededor del cuerpo. No hay tierra a la vista. Ahora, mar adentro, el viejo sostiene en su línea al pez más grande que jamás había visto.
