Reader's note

A wonderful copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway’s timeless fable of man’s battle against the elements is one of his most admired stories. Santiago is an aged and experienced fisherman in Cuba. He has gone 84 days without catching a fish and is now considered unlucky. The apprentice who used to help him fish was told by his parents to help out with another boat, and now he fishes alone. The next day he ventures far out into the Gulf Stream to fish, confident that his luck will soon turn around, and hooks a giant Marlin. The huge fish, however, will not go down without a fight. “None of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same colour as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.”
