Title: The Old Man and the Sea
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons, New York
Published: 1952
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Number of Pages: 140
Catalogs: Literature, Fiction, Novellas
Description: Original pale blue cloth binding with silver lettering on spine and embossed signature on cover. Dust jacket in good to very good condition with wear and minor tearing at edges. Price of $3.00 is unclipped. This is a slightly later printing, with no "A" on the copyright page. This copy has trimmed page-edges, and no stamping to the rear cover. Author's photo on the back of the dust-jacket is olive-toned. Owner's bookplate on flyleaf, and name in ink on jacket flap. Pages are lightly toned, but unmarked. Written between December 1950 and February 1951, this book was the last major fictional work Hemingway published during his lifetime. It tells the story of Santiago, an aging fisherman, and his long struggle to catch a giant marlin. Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. Hemingway's economical, understated style influenced later 20th-century writers, and he was known for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken, blunt public image. Some of his seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works have become classics of American literature, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. Hardcover, very good condition. 140 pages, octavo.
