"I couldn't write even a short report on the book without paying tribute to Hemingway's prose. It is as different from Melville's prose in 'Moby Dick' as anything could be and still remain English. There is no attempt in it to express the inexpressible by inventing new words and turns of phrase; instead Hemingway uses the oldest and shortest words, the simplest constructions, but gives them a new value--as if English were a strange language that he had studied or invented for himself and was trying to write in its original purity.Ernest Hemingway is the author of 'The Old Man and the Sea (Bloom's Notes)' with ISBN 9780791040713 and ISBN 0791040712.
