THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

The book that won Ernest Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature

`It`s silly not to hope. It`s a sin he thought`

Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway`s magnificent fable is the tale of an old man, a young boy and a giant fish. This story of heroic endeavour won Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature. It stands as a unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of man`s challenge to the elements.
