One of Hemingway's Most Enduring Works!
Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman in the big sea!

The Old Man and the Sea: A Battle with the Sea
Man can be destroyed but not defeated!
“A man can be destroyed, but not defeated!”

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.

1954 Nobel Prize for Literature

This is the immortal classic left behind 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.
