«El viejo y el mar» is the short novel by Ernest Hemingway, published by Aims Intl Books Corp in paperback (233 pages, in Spanish).
A Cuban fisherman, Santiago, goes to sea and hooks a giant marlin that drags him out into the ocean. In the long struggle he feels a strange admiration, almost brotherhood, for the fish. On returning to the coast, sharks attack his catch; the novel has been read as an allegory of man's struggle against nature and fate.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953. Originally published in 1952 in English as The Old Man and the Sea; the Spanish edition is translated by Lino Novás Calvo.
For readers looking for a brief classic of American fiction and for those approaching Hemingway for the first time.
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. Known for an economical, understated style that influenced later 20th-century writers, he has been romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken, blunt public image. Some of his seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works have become classics of American literature, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature.
