«El viejo y el mar» is the short novel by Ernest Hemingway, published by Planeta in paperback (241 pages, in Spanish).
Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, sets out into the Gulf Stream in search of a great catch and faces a huge marlin in a struggle that tests his endurance. The novel turns that battle into a reflection on the dignity of effort, solitude, and man's contest against nature.
The translation is by Lino Novás Calvo. This 1975 edition includes a biography of Hemingway written by Carlos Pujol. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953.
For readers approaching classic fiction and literature students, and for those seeking a short story with sea and adventure.
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.
