Acerca de esta escucha

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Written in 1952, this hugely successful novella confirmed Hemingway's power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

If you care at all about the English language you must use 2 1/2 hours of your time on the planet listening to this work. It is possibly the simplest scenario imaginable for a novel but is completed with style and economy which is what made Hemingway unique. The icing on the cake is that Sutherland's narration is nearly as exceptional as the book itself. Buy it!

A must buy! Narrated by Donald Sutherland, need I say more.

You need not be nearly as persistent as "the old man" to listen to this. The narration is about perfect, and as long as you can handle an unassuming, tender story about fishing for days on end you shouldn't have any trouble with this one.

Donald Sutherland was superb!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Old Man and the Sea to be better than the print version?

Different but equal. The writing is so engaging and econimical and the character of old man so real that it's difficult to separate the message from the medium.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Old Man and the Sea?

As the Old Man sat alone in his boat struggling with pain, thirst, weakness and nausea, he recalled a time from his younger days when he engaged a sailer in a 20 hour arm wrestling match. This moment in the story defined raw endurance and determination more effectively than anything else I've ever read.

What does Donald Sutherland bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Donald Southerland reads with great clarity and just enough expression to let the writing tell the story. After listening to the book, I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job than he. His voice, I'm sure, is far superior than my inner reading voice would be.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved by the Old Man's respect for the fish. He never belittled or underestimated his opponent, which lended a fresh perspective to his trade.

Any additional comments?

What can be said about one of the greatest stories ever told? Read it, cherish it, learn from it.

Brilliant, relevant and moving.

Hemingway at his simple best, and Sutherland's voice is a perfect match for the written script. Really enjoyed this performance.

Hemingway at his simple best...

Donald Sutherland is the perfect voice for the fishermen. The editing could have been better done; sometimes it's far too quiet and you miss vocal nuances. Overall wonderful.

Beautiful

A beautiful stoic tale of life and death. Everyone should read this at least once.

Superlative

This is a classic must read story that is filled with deep life lessons. Unfortunately, the narrator was lacking in expression and the almost monotone speech made a lovely story boring and difficult to listen to as it induced sleep.

I'm not sure if it was bad recorded or what? The base was too high. I had hardtime understanding words.

Hadn’t read this in HS so when my son had to I took advantage of it! Thoroughly enjoyed it although he was agonizing through it so this helped him greatly. He turns speed up to 1.5x or 2x and then will read along.
Loved Donald Sutherland’s voice.

Great!
