«El viejo y el mar» is the short novel by Ernest Hemingway, published by Planeta in paperback (233 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, in his solitary and exhausting struggle against a huge marlin in the Gulf Stream. The work combines the simplicity of a fable, the scope of a parable and the tension of an epic, and has been interpreted as a story of perseverance, courage and dignity in the face of adversity.
The work, written in Cuba in 1951 and originally published in 1952, received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953.
For readers of classic literature and fans of stories about overcoming adversity and the sea.
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.
