What it's about

The Old Man and the Sea (1952) by Ernest Hemingway tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles to catch a giant marlin after a long streak of bad luck. Battling exhaustion, pain, and sharks, Santiago’s epic fight symbolizes human endurance, pride, and dignity in the face of defeat. Through simple yet powerful prose, Hemingway explores themes of courage, perseverance, and the unbreakable spirit of man against nature. The novella earned Hemingway the 1953 Pulitzer Prize.
