The Old Man and The Sea: Hemingway's most enduring work (Grapevine edition)

One of Hemingways most enduring writings is The Old Man and the Sea. Its the storey of a down-on-his-luck old Cuban fisherman and his ultimate experience a relentless excruciating battle with a gigantic marlin far out in the Gulf Stream told in language of remarkable simplicity and power. Hemingway recasts the old theme of courage in the face of defeat of personal success achieved through loss in a stunningly contemporary language. This tremendously famous novella written in 1952 underlined Hemingways influence and presence in the literary world and helped him earn the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.
