En la cĆŗspide de su maestrĆa, Hemingway alumbró una historia en cuya sencillez vibra el clĆ”sico tema del valor ante la derrota, del triunfo personal sacado de la pĆ©rdida. El viejo y el mar lo confirmó como uno de los escritores mĆ”s significativos del siglo XX, obteniendo el Premio Pulitzer y allanando su carrera hacia el Premio Nobel.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
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.
