The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway

In Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, you meet Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman who is down on his luck but finds himself alone and far from shore with the biggest catch of his life — an 18-foot marlin. Through the symbolism of Santiago's relationship with his young apprentice Manolin, his love of the ocean, and his struggle with (but not against) nature, The Old Man and the Sea earned Ernest Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.
