The story centres on an aging fisherman who engages in an epic battle to catch a giant marlin. Excerpt from The Guardian review written by Russell Cunningham and published on Aug 24, 2016: “The Old Man and the Sea is a beautiful tale, awash in the seasalt and sweat, bait and beer of the Havana coast. It tells a fundamental human truth: in a volatile world, from our first breath to our last wish, through triumphs and pitfalls both trivial and profound, what sustains us, ultimately, is hope.” CONDITION: This book is in acceptable condition. Tight binding. Clean text. However, the cover is scuffed, stained, and soiled; the edges and corners are slightly worn; pages have small hollow marks probably caused by pressure. and more noticiable on the last pages and on the pastedown. There are some water-based stains. The name of the original owner is written on the endpaper at the front of the book. Please see pictures. THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF CONDITION.
