Description: |
|
"In 'The Old Man and the Sea' a new classic emerges, a great book that is like no other. Shorter than the accepted novel, longer than what has come to be called the long story, 'The Old Man and the Sea' cannot be classified, for it writes its own law in literature. It is simple, compelling, magnificent. Every word is right; not one word more is needed, and there should assuredly be no less, for the result is art. . . One cannot hope to explain why the reading of this book is so profound an experience." |
