Ernest Hemingway

One of the classic works in the canon of American literature, Hemingway's Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea focuses upon an aging fisherman and his great battle to bring a large marlin back to shore. With integrated themes of national identity, honor, and the struggle between man and nature, this work provides new interpretations and insights through multiple readings. 126 pages, softcover.

Ernest Hemingway often insisted that any good story includes three elements: the time, the place, and how the weather was. A Hemingway Odyssey includes all three and much more. A must-read for Hemingway enthusiasts in the centennial year of his birth, A Hemingway Odyssey contains never-before-published interviews with people who knew him and observations of the special places he frequented, thus revealing how powerfully the waters Hemingway loved influenced his writing from his earliest days to his last novels.

The Old Man and the Sea was the winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for literature. After not catching anything for weeks, an old Cuban fisherman hooks a giant marlin that takes him far out to sea and tests his courage, skill, and stamina. A classic story of personal strength, loyalty, and endurance in the face of apparent defeat.
