The Old Man and the Sea, one of Hemingway's most enduring works, is 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. In this novella, Hemingway recasts the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss, in a strikingly contemporary style. Written in 1952, The Old Man and the Sea confirmed Hemingway's power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.
