En esta nueva y magistral traducción de Miguel Temprano García, El viejo y el mar recobra todo el esplendor del clásico imperecedero que le valió el Premio Pulitzer de 1953 a Ernest Hemingway.Con un lenguaje de gran fuerza y sencillez, El viejo y el mar narra la historia de un viejo pescador cubano a quien la suerte parece haber abandonado, y del desafío mayúsculo al que se enfrenta: la batalla despiadada y sin tregua con un pez gigantesco enlas aguas del golfo.Escrito en 1952, por encargo de la revista Life, este relato lo confirmó como uno de los escritores más significativos del siglo XX, obteniendo el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 y allanando su carrera hacia el Nobel de Literatura, que recibió en 1954.Resena:®Su mejor obra. El tiempo demostrará que es la mejor que cualquiera de nosotros haya escrito, y con eso me refiero a sus coetáneos y a los míos.¯William Faulkner

It is a brilliantly wittyparody of the medieval romances, and a fitting monument to the court society of the Italian Renaissance which gave them birth.

1935-ben indította el a fiatal jezsuita páter, Kerkai Jenő a magyar parasztság szellemi és anyagi felemelését célul tűző mozgalmát, amely később KALOT néven vált ismertté. A keresztény-szociális alapokra építő KALOT néhány éven belül Magyarország, sőtegész Közép-Európa legnagyobb agrárifjúsági szervezetévé vált.A KALOT második számú papi vezetője volt Nagy Töhötöm, Kerkai néhány évvel fiatalabb rendtársa. Amikor 1944-ben nyilvánvalóvá vált, hogy Magyarország hamarosan a szovjet érdekszféra része lesz, Nagy vállalkozott arra, hogy a fronton átszökve felveszi akapcsolatot az orosz katonai vezetéssel, hogy bemutatva a mozgalom szociális jellegét, biztosítsa a továbbműködés lehetőségét. Ez a viszontagságos vállalkozás részleges eredménnyel járt: igaz ugyan, hogy a Debrecenben megalakult Ideiglenes Kormány ésszovjet vezetés alatt álló Szövetséges Ellenőrző bizottság nem tiltotta be a KALOT-ot, mégis 1945 elejétől egy újabb, közel kétéves küzdelem kezdődött megmaradásért.Az 1945-46-os évek kalandokban is bővelkedő küzdelmeit olvashatjuk e könyv lapjain. A mozgalom vezetőinek, akárcsak a mozgalomból kinövő Barankovics-féle Demokrata Néppártnak, egyrészt fel kellett vennie a harcot a magyar kommunistákkal, másrészt pedigküzdenie kellett az egyházi vezetés azon részének a megértéséért, amelyik - elsősorban egy közelinek vélt újabb háború kedvező kimenetelét remélve - elutasította bármely egyezkedés gondolatát az orosz megszállókkal és a kommunista pártvezetőkkel. Ezt akettős küzdelmet, s annak izgalmas vállalkozásokban is bővelkedő hátterét - többek között többszöri zöldhatáron keresztüli római útjait, a Vatikán és szovjetek közti közvetítési kísérleteket - mutatja be e napló, mely azzal zárul, hogy Nagy Töhötömötrendi elöljárói, Mindszenty bíboros kívánságára, Dél-Amerikába küldik. A Függelékben közölt jelentős dokumentumok szorosan kapcsolódnak a naplóban említett eseményekhez.
