The Old Man and the Sea : The Hemingway Library Edition

(Author) Ernest Hemingway
Format: Paperback
Price: £0.00

The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. 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. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist known for his distinctive writing style and portrayal of masculinity. His most notable works include "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Farewell to Arms," and "The Sun Also Rises." Hemingway's writing is characterized by its spare prose, realistic dialogue, and emphasis on themes of war, love, and loss. He is credited with revolutionizing the modern American novel and influencing generations of writers with his minimalist approach to storytelling. "The Old Man and the Sea," a novella about an aging fisherman's struggle with a marlin, remains one of Hemingway's most famous and enduring works, winning him the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and solidifying his reputation as a literary giant.
