Ernest Hemingway's last work
A masterpiece that captivated the world with its unique narrative technique!

The novel "The Old Man and the Sea" is an immortal classic written by Ernest Hemingway, who used unique narrative techniques while living through World War I and II.
It is also considered the 'pinnacle of Hemingway's literature' as it contains the author's unique narrative techniques and existential philosophy.
In "The Old Man and the Sea," Hemingway illuminates the indomitable human figure who lives a fierce life with mature and balanced insight into the cruel reality.
It also delicately depicts the human weakness and loneliness that exist behind it.
Even now, more than 70 years after its publication, it is rare to find a work that so sharply portrays human life, destiny, dignity, and ecology.
The story of Santiago, an old fisherman who faces misfortune, adversity, and hardship, is filled with various symbols and omniscient narrative techniques based on realism.
Furthermore, the old man Santiago's will to not be defeated even if he is destroyed is deeply sincere, reflecting Hemingway's passion and existentialism to reaffirm the vitality of humanity.

He was well-versed in narrative techniques and had a great influence on the modern literary world with his unique writing style.

Before he died, Hemingway said of The Old Man and the Sea, “It is the work of my life and the finest work I have ever written with my own abilities.”
In particular, efforts were made to preserve Hemingway's unique, robust and concise writing style, various symbols, and unique speaking style.
Also, unlike many other translations of The Old Man and the Sea, it emphasizes Hemingway's thematic consciousness in an easy-to-read and readable way.
In other words, the message of human dignity, that is, the courage to overcome the frustrations and failures that humans experience in life, was composed in a way that was easy to grasp at a glance, likening the life of an old fisherman struggling against the harsh sea to 'Only an Old Man and the Sea'.
Hemingway tried to make us reflect on the meaning of real human existence through the protagonist, the old fisherman Santiago.
The sea, which symbolizes a woman conceiving a human being, and Santiago's attitude of feeling a deep brotherly affection for the fish he catches contain Hemingway's unique ecological perspective along with the meaning of human existence.

The old man was aged from head to toe, but his eyes were the color of the sea and shone with vitality and indomitable will.
