The Old Man and the Sea
Simultaneously intimate, simple, deep, and powerful, The Old Man and the Sea is a story of triumph, loss, struggle, and perseverance, set against the rich backdrop of a Cuban fishing community.
The novella follows an old fisherman as he struggles to catch a gigantic marlin and turn his waning luck around. Over the course of this struggle the book contemplates masculinity, religion, fate, and the ultimate meaning (or lack thereof) of life.
Ernest Hemingway is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and Pulitzer Prize.
