Una de las historias m s grandes jam s contadas

En Cuba, un viejo pescador ya en el crep sculo de su vida, pobre y sin suerte, cansado de regresar cada d a sin pesca, emprende una ltima y arriesgada traves a en busca de una gran pieza. Cuando al fin logra dar con ella, comienza una feroz lucha. Y el regreso a puerto, con el acoso de los elementos y los tiburones, se convierte en una ltima prueba. Como un rey mendigo, coronado por su imbatible dignidad, el viejo pescador culmina finalmente su destino.

En la c spide de su maestr a, Hemingway alumbr una historia en cuya sencillez vibra el cl sico tema del valor ante la derrota, del triunfo personal sacado de la p rdida. El viejo y el mar lo confirm como uno de los escritores m 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.
