作者简介Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (born July 21, 1899, Cicero [now in Oak Park], Ill., U.S.-died July 2, 1961, Ketchum, Idaho) U.S. writer. He began work as a journalist after high school. He was wounded while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. One of a well-known group of expatriate writers in Paris, he soon embarked on a life of travel, skiing, fishing, and hunting that would be reflected in his work. His story collection In Our Time (1925) was followed by the novel The Sun Also Rises (1926). Later novels include A Farewell to Arms (1929) and To Have and Have Not (1937). His lifelong love for Spain (including a fascination with bullfighting) led to his working as a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, which resulted in the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Other short-story collections include Men Without Women (1927), Winner Take Nothing (1933), and The Fifth Column (1938). He lived primarily in Cuba from c. 1940, the locale of his novella The Old Man and the Sea (1952, Pulitzer Prize). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. He left Cuba shortly after its 1959 revolution; a year later, depressed and ill, he shot himself. The succinct and concentrated prose style of his early works strongly influenced many British and American writers for decades.

Reviewer: Mrs. A. C. Whiteley "ali-docious"
"He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty four days now without taking a fish" p3
So begins this beautiful, elegantly written fable. Finally, on the eighty-fifth day, Santiago's luck changes for the better when he hooks a giant marlin. The strength of this majestic creature is immense, for he tows the boat far out to sea. For days, the old man bides his time, ignoring his pain, getting by with minimal sleep and food, gradually reeling him in. Once he succeeds in harpooning him, he is so huge that he has to be lashed to the side of the boat. But by now he is some days sailing away from home and these are shark infested waters. Indeed, the journey back is nothing short of heroic.........
This wonderful, mesmerizing short story is simply and exquisitely told. Hemingway fails to put a foot wrong. Although it is barely two hours worth of reading, this delightful tale will remain in your memory for years to come.
编辑推荐《The Old Man and Sea (老人与海)》In 1917 Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year he volunteered to work as an ambulance driver on the Italian front where he was badly wounded but twice decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919 and married in 1921. In 1922 he reported on the Greco-Turkish war, then two years later resigned from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendship with such fellowAmerican expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.
文摘Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, hethought. But that was the thing that I was born for. Imust surely remember to eat the tuna after it gets light.Some time before daylight something took one ofthe baits that were behind him. He heard the stickbreak and the line begin to rush out over the gunwaleof the skiff. In the darkness he loosened his sheathknife and taking all the strain of the fish on his leftshoulder he leaned back and cut the line against thewood of the gunwale. Then he cut the other lineclosest to him and in the dark made the loose ends ofthe reserve coils fast. He worked skilfully with the onehand and put his foot on the coils to hold them as hedrew his knots tight. Now he had six reserve coils ofline. There were two from each bait he had severed andthe two from the bait the fish had taken and they wereall connected. After it is light, he thought, I will work back to theforty-fathom bait and cut it away too and link up thereserve coils. I will have lost two hundred fathoms ofgood Catalan cordel and the hooks and leaders. Thatcan be replaced. But who replaces this fish if I hooksome fish and it cuts him offI don't know what thatfish was that took the bait just now. It could have beena marlin or a broadbill or a shark. I never felt him. I hadto get rid of him too fast. Aloud he said, 'I wish I had the boy.'
