The Old Man and the Sea - Narrated by Charlton Heston full audio book 

There is a reason this is such a classic. You can read it as a child and understand it, even enjoy it. And as you grow up, at looking at it again you notice so much more. I look forward to read this again as an old man.

I absolutely love the way he reads this book. It makes me feel the actual story. I have already read the book, but this time i'm reading it while listening to Charlton Heston. His reading is perfect, and it makes this book all the more beautiful.

I feel compelled to cry, for the fish, thr old man, the boy, and myself, even the author. All of us swallowed up by the depths of life, existence, eternity.

This has to be one of the best audiobooks ever. Heston is terrific! Hemingway is not too shabby either.

one of the ultold benefits of youtube: to listen to the classics to while away the time in a most pleasurable way.

Don't take this the wrong way but... I absolutely love this narration because it puts me to sleep in minutes! It's the perfect ASMR experience. I have listened to it hundreds of times. I really appreciate you posting it!!

I enjoyed listening to well narrated story The Old Man and the Sea. Some of the sentences like ' Man can be destroyed but not defeated ' are still ringing in my ears.

The greatest fisherman’s tale ever told. I think of this on the sea often

One of the greatest actors and speakers ever Charlton Heston I cannot believe I just stumbled on this

Thank you for sharing, I personally cant read well as I am a major dyslexic. I am in a IEB school in South Africa which required me to read 7 novels by matric. If you as a reader are reading this and you have children or even yourself that cant read or hate reading, listening to audiobooks such as these or even just playing it in the car on a long trip certainly does help. I listened to this while doing my Business project. Even though I was focused on the project I still took in the book as my self conscious was noticing and listening to the story. I ended having a A in English. So if you are looking for a solution to people not being able to read, rather just listen. Believe me it helps.

Charlton Heston. His reading is perfect, indeed!! What a classic for a story. Love it love it love it. I will never stop listening to Mr. Heston reading this book.

"He was too simple to wonder when he had attained humility but he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride." Beautiful quote...

thank you so much. i have autism and adhd and it is very difficult for me to read without anybody reading along for me. i need to have read this book by the time school starts next month or i would be kicked out of my honors classes. :)

Heston brought all of the magic, sincerity, and tragedy to life like none other could. perfect!

Listened to this driving today. Thank you for sharing it! Great version.

charlton heston brings santiago to life in a way that is better than anything i ever could have dreamt up. thank you very much

this voice makes me feel so comfortable

I never loved this novel, maybe because I was forced to read it in grade 9. I readily acknowledge it's brilliant flow and excellent characters. However, I LOVE this recitation! I've listened to it 5 times this summer and it gets better and better. Funny, it took Moses/Judah Ben-Hur to enable me to love Santiago. Thanks Josh, I needed this.

Listened to it all in one sitting. One of the best stories of all time

I understand better when I listen and read at the same time. I’m following along in my book as I listen to you read. Thank you so much!

Listening to this on 02-02-2020!!! A wonderful narration by Mr. Heston. Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for posting this.

Good way to pass time in a pandemic.

Thank you this helped me get passed my summer reading in 3 days thank you

I enjoyed listening to this story. E. Hemingway and ... C. Heston..... Great! Thank you.

Such a sad book , maybe because I am getting old and know I am getting weaker too .

I actually had to read this in middle school. We couldn't go online and listen to an entire book. It's nice that we have technology and the net, especially for those who are learning disabled but is causing the human brain cells to atrophy. There is nothing like reading. Reading is truly an act of mindfulness. It opens doorways to places in the mind that could not otherwise be accessed. Namely the imagination.

Mr. Hesston is rivaled in narration by,only, the likes of Morgan Freeman - this audio book was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you

Such a great reading. I imagined the old man speak exactly like that. Thank you for sharing!

One of the greatest pleasures in life is a great tale, well told

Getting my steps in while I listen... Weight loss goals coming along nicely :)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand done! Thank you so so SOOOOOOOOOOO much for this! My class needed to read this and I understand things better when I hear them! Thank you again!(hehe! I'm ahead of the whole class now! :D)

Man am i glad i found this. I can't sleep and don't want to read or watch TV and wake up the old lady. This is perfect! Thanks

Best book in my whole high school's curriculum

Fantastic, fitting voice for such an amazing novel by Hemingway. Thanks for helping me start and finish this book in just 2 hours for summer reading!!

First class narration from Charlton Heston. That's how you bring a story to life.

Just toured the Hemingway house in Key West Florida. It was the inspiration for me to listen to this masterpiece.

I saw the original movie when I was probably the age I imagine the boy to be - 11. It was long and torturous, but unforgettable. I tried to read the book years later but it was too tedious and too grim. 36 years later, past midnight and tired but unable to sleep, I listened to this story again. And the movie in my mind was much clearer now than it was when I was the boy. Hemingway was an artist who painted the most breathtaking pictures on the palette of the mind, using only the simplest of colours. Every time I read his stories, I'm reminded that the was Old Man was the maser after all. "Fish," he said softly, aloud, "I'll stay with you until I am dead."

Can't read this without dreaming of the lions. Dream on old man. Dream on.

Phew just phew. After listening in this in the dark in and out of sleep. I winced at the pain as the line cut . I switched the lamp on and looked at my hands no cuts I looked deeply at them again they are now old ,full of lines.Thank you for introducing this to me

I love everything about this upload. So much so that I relisten every couple months. From the story itself, to the way Charlton reads it, to the quality of the audio. Thank you so very much for posting it.

Hemmingway deserves his peerless reputation. Wonderful.

I enjoyed listening to this great story.

Thank you Josh... I have read/listened to this classic by Hemingway numerous times over the years,but never tire of the wonderfully descriptive narrative. A fresh and new friend always awaits me in its pages. God bless you!

Thank you this helped me read this whole book in one night

I read Tortilla Flat a couple years ago. A short book. A pain in my ass to get through. I hated it but I refused to give up. This book… along with CH’s voice reading it is very good. I’m glad I can back to Hemingway!

Who else has a paper due tomorrow and hasn't even read the book 👉👈

A book of triumph loss and handling adversity through the human spirit. Wonderful book and great a reading by the narrator

This story by E. H. was truly written at his peak. Listen to each sentence. A masterpiece of writing by a true genius. 10 years later he shotgunned himself.

I have to read this over spring break and corona break

Great story, I've always loved this story and Heston did such a fine job with the Narration.

this dude reads faster then me and I need this for class tomorrow your a life saver this is the first time ive needed a audiobook

Thank you for posting. I remember listening to this when I was a kid. Its a great novel.

Best audiobook I ever listened too, thank you!!!

Heston is magnificent as the old man! listened to it twice in a row.

I read this book back in 2004 an I remember it like it was yesterday. But I have to say this Gentlemen made me feel I was in the boat fighting an Wrestling with this Monster fish 😢 Thank you stranger for taking the time to read This awesome story.🙏🏼

One of the best videos of the modern age. Thank you kind gentlemen for creating such a masterpiece. Truly one of the most breathtaking books I've ever read in my entire life. Later on, becoming one of the best films of its time You're a real gee.

Great voice, I was in the boat with the old man...

Goooood audio for listening!!! I'm Chinese and now I'm training English listening.

can't understand the thumbs down. i finished this in two sessions and it was marvellous and Heston's voice is magnificent, Thanks for the upload :)

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for the upload! RIP Charlton Heston and RIP OP's Grandad Barry.

Worth mentioning the dolphin he kills and eats is not a mammal dolphin but "dolphinfish" or "mahi-mahi" Plenty of hints and clues to this.

I simply love this book ive read it before and love listening to this the most :) Great Narrator for this book

I liked it more than i liked Sun also Rises..i was hooked from the opening sentence,Pardon the pun. Charlton's acting here is beyond my vocabulary. Finished it in one sitting. Thanks for the post

Thank you for this. It's so well written and eloquent.

Putting the playback speed at 1.5 really helped me get through this book quicker while being able to envision things while being read to.

The way it's written, I could actually smell the old man at the first parts.

Mr. Heston did a magnificent reading of a very ORDINARY story . Why everyone goes crazy over Hemingway's simplistic writing is beyond me .

What an incredible "short" story- probably one of my favorites.

Thanks man ! love your voice it's deep and very clear. this is my favorite novel.

I love this book. I love the movie with Spencer Tracey ( sorry Mr.Quin).But the most memorable thing that I hold with this book are the memories at the age of 3.. 4.. 5... 6 is that of my Father,sitting on my bed,reading this book to me until I fell asleep.My Father told me once that he loved the book too,but on the other hand he hated it for I wouldn't go asleep

This story sounds full of regret and remorse. This book is insanely good.

I just love the fact that this whole story takes place on a skiff. Good shit!!

He was sorry for the birds, the small delicate dark terns that were always flying and searching but never finding. The birds have a harder life than we do except for the robber birds and heavy strong ones. "Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?" She is kind and beautiful, but she can be cruel. And it comes so suddenly, and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea.

First of all, thanks for uploading this. Second, I read your description and I think it's very sweet. I lost all my grandparents within the last three years. It's little things like this that keep them alive.

Great word craftery..Heston brought it to life..The harmonic conversion of two great artists ..zeitgeist with electric chills.🎇

Superb. Powerful. 👍

I have a test on this on Friday thanks for the help🙏🏾

thank you for posting this. Such a beautiful, melancholic story.

That's awesome, Jesus Christ, I couldn't even explain what I feel after listen this radio, masterful wotk

Best read audio book ever. Great story too

Hands down my fave book!!!

Thanks for making my life easier ‼️

Aw man I really wanted the old man to bring in that tank. But I'm glad the boy will continue to help him fish in the future

Great voice

this saved me 2 weeks before school started. it was my summer reading book.

Thank you so much for this. The narration was excellent!

i read the whole book with your audio record together.. thank you very much! this was very helpful for me for the right pronunciation! 👍

Wonderful book! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for the wonderful reading. Your voice seems fit for this novel. It was such a pleasure to listen to your recording. It makes reading much more enjoyable. Thank you again!

Love these Audio books - Can get my jobs done & listen to the Classics ! - Thankyou for sharing ! - S B - U.K.

One of the few books I can read and reread. Is the story about man's battle against nature or against himself? Yes, and Hemingway describes the battle with succinct beauty.

very cool,thank you,cool photo too,I came home from work hurting last nite,sat down and enjoyed this very much,Heston is perfect for this,Richard

Amazing book 10/10

🧡💕💙ThankYou For Sharing

As an old man myself I can identify with Hemingway's story. Like many of the students making comments I read a lot of the Literature assignments from CLIFF notes. After College I had more time to read so I went back and read some of those scholl assignments that I had read from CLIFF notes. I discovered I had only cheated myself by not reading the assigned books. THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO got me hooked..I got by with a 3.0 GPA but I think maybe I might have had a3.5

Thank you for the Charlton Heston upload- this was helpful for a student....

thank u for posting this. I love listening to it.

Had to do summer reading on this book and I just didn't have time to read it!! I have to take a huge test on it and I'm so thankful for this Audio!!

I’m watching this in class with headphone on my phone and I’m falling asleep on the Wall

Please never delete this 🖤
