The Old Man and the Sea

These dual Hemingways are the latest volumes in the Scribner Paperback Fiction series (Classic Returns, February 15, p. 187). They offer quality trade size editions, featuring attractive covers and easily readable type size. Two of the greats.

katherinec - I think the book The Old Man and The Sea is a very interesting book as it tells the story of struggle between wanting something, but at the sametime doesn’t want to hurt it. The old man went on a journal to hunt the biggest fish, throughout his journey, he came across different kind of difficulties and realizations. I like this book because it gives a feeling of both loneliness and the at the sametime mysteriousness of the magic power of sea. The best part is that the old man's words are often really deep that you need to think over, and I really like the feeling of the way it was written. It also gives a feeling of the calmness when you stare at the sea. I recommend students in 3rd or 4th grade to read it, but I think even if you are a high school student, this book will be interesting to you too.
