Fiction
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most
enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and
power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on
his luck, and his supreme ordeal -- a relentless, agonizing
battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here
Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the
classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal
triumph won from loss. Written in 1952, this hugely
successful novella confirmed his power and presence in the
literary world and played a large part in his winning the
1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.
