For old man Santiago, catching the biggest Marlin in the deep sea has become an obsession. But even after 84 days at sea, the deprived old man is unable to break the bad luck that seems to be following him around. While the whole village of fishermen has given up on him, it’s only his young Apprentice, Manolin, who supports his passion, but he too is forbidden by his parents to accompany the old man into the sea.The 85th day changes everything. Alone, for the next three days, Santiago fights with the forces of nature and with the shortcomings on by his old age in search of the great catch.One of Ernest Hemingway best works, the old man and the sea, explores the themes of mortality, honour-in-defeat and man’splace nature. Review: Classic - I decided to go back and re-read a lot of the classics that impacted me from childhood to adulthood. This is one of the ones that always stood out in my mind. This was a great copy in great condition. Review: Awesome. - Perfect to read as a family!

Don't buy.
Don't buy. It's not the original story. It has been retold from India. Also, MSRP on book is $7.99.

NOT ERNEST HEMINGWAY
This book is NOT the original Ernest Hemingway version. It is a POORLY DONE rewrite of the original. I compared it to an original Hemingway copy of the 'Old Man and the Sea' that I have and the wording was entirely different. The writing style in this version is noticeably worse. DO NOT BUY!
