THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original blue cloth with red titles and illustration to the upper board and spine, in the first state dustwrapper without reviews printed to the verso. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping at the base of the lightly faded spine. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is faded to the spine and edge of the rear panel but otherwise without loss. Not price-clipped (7s 6d to the lower front flap).

The author's last major work of fiction published in his lifetime. The novella was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953, and it was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to their awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954.
