Hemingway, Ernest

Harry Morgan is forced into smuggling Chinese immigrants and illegal liquor from Cuba to Key West during the Great Depression of the 1930s when his fishing boat rental business fails leading to his unhealthy association with wealthy yachtsmen.

A hardened adventurer on safari in Africa must face his innermost fears when an accident threatens to cut short his life.

Hemingway's triumphant yet tragic story of an old Cuban fisherman and his relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream combines the simplicity of a fable, the significance of a parable, and the drama of an epic.

Harry Morgan, seeking to earn a living for himself and his family, turns to rum-running between Cuba and Key West during the depression of the 1930s.
