The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction by Hemingway to be published during his lifetime.

The work has been interpreted as an allegory of man's struggle against nature and destiny.
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.
