★ 作者Ernest Hemingway厄尼斯特‧海明威獲1954年諾貝爾文學獎


Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway's magnificent fable is the story of an old man, a young boy and a giant fish. It was The Old Man and the Sea that won for Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Here, in a perfectly crafted story, is a unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of man's challenge to the elements in which he lives. Not a single word is superflous in this widely admired masterpiece, which once and for all established his place as one of the giants of modern literature.


老漁夫在海上捕到一條大魚，他不分晝夜與大魚奮戰，最後雖戰勝大魚但卻還是要繼續與鯊魚和大自然對抗。從故事中看似樸實簡單的字句卻是充滿力量，深刻描寫老人不向命運低頭，不斷面對與接受挑戰的勇氣與毅力。
