"La belleza de esta historia esta no solo en la simplicidad de la historia, un viejo pescador buscando su sustento y peleando por el, contra el y defendiendolo, tambien esta en la simpleza de la narración, una historia sencilla, una narración sencilla, una gran obra. " — Jose (5 out of 5 stars)

" Only Hemmingway can write a story about an old man fishing by himself and make it interesting enough to finish... "
" Pound for pound maybe the best ever... "
" This was the first book of Hemingway's I read. For some reason, maybe because it was simple to read, I got into it. If you do not read a lot its a good place to start. "
" I was on my feet the entire time. "
" I don't like the ending of this book. I stayed with the old man, rooting for him , believing in him and at the end I was so sad. "
" Adore Hemingways simple yet meaningful language. "
" I actually listened to this as an audio book. It was read by Donald Sutherland in a very monotone voice, but I really enjoyed it. It gave it the feeling of the sea and the hard work that the old man did. It's a classic and I really enjoyed it. "
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. He also wrote Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. He also wrote short stories that are collected in Men Without Women and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories. Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
