內容簡介
講述瞭一位老人隻身到遙遠的海域捕魚的故事。在連續八十四天沒捕到一條魚而被人嘲笑的情況下，老人終於獨自釣上瞭一條大馬林魚，但這條魚實在是太大瞭，竟然在海上拖著老人的小漁船遊逃瞭三天，筋疲力盡，老人纔得以將它殺死並綁在瞭漁船的一邊。可惜在歸程中，老人不斷遭到鯊魚的襲擊，到岸時這條大馬林魚隻剩下魚頭、魚尾和一條脊骨。盡管如此，老人卻從未服輸。
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.
An old Cuban fisherman triumphs over a giant marlin--only to have his prized catch literally eaten away by circling sharks.
