The Old Man and the Sea
By Ernest Hemingway
First UK edition, first impression. Originally published in the US a few months earlier in the same year. The novel received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and was an important factor in Hemingway being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
Original blue cloth with lettering to spine in dark red and fish and fisherman motif in red to upper board. A fine and clean copy with a couple of small areas of rubbing to the bottom fore-edge of of lower board.
The original and unclipped dust jacket features the striking artwork of Hans Tisdall and is the first state without the reviews to verso. A hint of minor rubbing here and there to edges with a few nicks to edges of lower panel and an associated crease to top and bottom edges that are only visible on verso.
A superb, bright and near fine copy overall.
