Ernest Hemingway (1899 â 1961) was a novelist, short-story writer, journalist and sportsman. âThe Old Man and the Seaâ is a short novel published in 1952, the last major work of fiction by Hemingway which was published during his lifetime. It is the story of the old fisherman Santiago who sets out before dawn on an odyssey that takes him far out to sea. He catches a gigantic marlin and suffers tremendous hardship to bring the great fish to land. In 1953, âThe Old Man and the Seaâ was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and it was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to their awarding of the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway.

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.

En av Hemingways bÀsta berÀttelser. Hans passion för fiske skiner starkt, och man kan nÀstan kÀnna sig som den gamle fiskaren nÀr han kÀmpar sin lÄnga kamp.
