Vintage address label at cover: "Mrs. Walter Miller, .Olyphant Ave., Scranton, PA" Pages very good, clean. Saddle-stitch bind, good. Scarce near very good first issue of Hemingway's classic novella of perseverance and survival. Classic 1952 issue and first publication - before book - of The Old Man and the Sea. "The editors of Life proudly present for the first time and in full a great new book by a great American writer." Stoic, b&w portrait of Hemingway w/mustache on cover. Blue monochromatic drawings by Noel Sickles. Rare near very good example. The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, "The Old Man and the Sea" has proved itself to be an enduring work of American fiction. The story of an old Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Using simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss, and transforms them into a magnificent 20th-century classic.
