«El viejo y el mar» is the short novel by Ernest Hemingway, published by Ediciones Gernika in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, and his solitary struggle with a huge marlin on the high seas. The anecdote becomes a symbol of the struggle for life, the will and dignity of the human being, narrated with a classical sobriety characteristic of Hemingway.
Written in Cuba in 1951, it was published in 1952 as The Old Man and the Sea; it was his last major work of fiction published in his lifetime and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.
Classic of twentieth-century literature, common reading in schools and a gateway to Hemingway's work.
