The old man and the Sea: The Hemingway Library Edition
Ernest Hemingway
Synopsis "The old man and the Sea: The Hemingway Library Edition"
Ernest Hemingway's most beloved and popular novel ever, with millions of copies sold--now featuring early drafts and supplementary material as well as a personal foreword by the only living son of the author, Patrick Hemingway, and an introduction by the author's grandson Seán Hemingway. The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. 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. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.
Ernest Miller Hemingway (Oak Park, 21 de julio de 1899-Ketchum, 2 de julio de 1961) fue un escritor y periodista estadounidense, uno de los principales novelistas y cuentistas del siglo XX.
Su estilo sobrio—que él denominó la teoría del iceberg—tuvo una gran influencia sobre la ficción del siglo XX, mientras que su vida de aventuras y su imagen pública le trajeron la admiración de las generaciones posteriores. Hemingway escribió la mayor parte de su obra entre mediados de la década de 1920 y mediados de la década de 1950. Ganó el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 por El viejo y el mar y al año siguiente el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su obra completa. Publicó siete novelas, seis recopilaciones de cuentos, dos ensayos y una obra de teatro.
Póstumamente se publicaron tres novelas, cuatro libros de cuentos y tres ensayos. Muchos de estos son considerados clásicos de la literatura de Estados Unidos.
