El viejo y el mar / El invicto

by Ernest Hemingway

Overview

La novela breve y el cuento largo presentes en este libro nos hablan de dos hombres viejos que luchan contra el destino y contra sí mismos. Son historias de valor, de superación, perseverancia y de un gran respeto por el adversario -los tiburones y el toro, respectivamente. Con una escritura ágil y descriptiva, Hemingway nos transporta a las aguas del Caribe y a una plaza de toros en Madrid.

About the Author

The preeminent American novelist and short story writer of his time, Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) wrote provocative fiction steeped in the experiences of the "lost generation" that came of age during World War I. Hemingway's four best-known books — The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea — highlight the author's trademark economy of style while depicting lives shaped by futility, frustration, and disappointment. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
