I toa i te tuhinga poto nei na Hemingway te taonga Pulitzer Prize i te wahanga Pakimaero, a, na tenei i hua mai ai tana toanga Nobel Prize i te tau 1954 i te wahanga Matatuhi. Ko Te Koroua me te Moana tetahi tuhinga na te ringa rehe i waihanga, he tirohanga motuhake hoki ki ta te tangata kotahi whakapataritari i nga mana o te ao. / In the baking sun, in a small village off the coast of Havana, lives an old fisherman named Santiago. It has been eighty-four days since he last caught a fish. The locals call it bad luck. Refusing to accept defeat, Santiago sets off in his tiny skiff alone, fishing further out than ever before. Over a number of days his will and his character are tested beyond imagination. Hemingway's classic short novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and directly led to his Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. The Old Man and the Sea is a perfectly crafted story and a unique vision of one man's challenge to the elements.
