Descripción editorial
The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953, and the year after, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Ernest Hemingway in 1954. It was the last major work of fiction written by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, this short novel is already a modern classic. It is the superbly told, tragic story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman in the Gulf Stream and his struggles with a giant Marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.

Nice book for new readers
It is easy, very simple vocabulary even for people learning English. And the details of the olds journey makes you travel to its own universe
Perseverante
Santiago en su travesía por las costas de la Havana nos muestra que nuestro llamado, don o vocación no la debemos olvidar ni dejar por circunstancias adversas. Ante ellas debemos recordar y continuar en nuestro camino. Poca veces reconocemos que todas las acciones y todos los estilos de vida inspiran, en esta obra Hemingway nos recuerda lo valioso que es vivir nuestra propia vida y seguir nuestras aspiraciones a pesar de las circunstancias.
