Old Man From The Sea

View On Black

 

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

 

One of his most famous works, it centers upon an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Though it has been the subject of disparate criticism, it is noteworthy in twentieth century fiction and in Hemingway's canon, reaffirming his worldwide literary prominence and significant in his selection for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

 

This is an old capture that I happened upon while searching for another... always enjoyed and maybe so will you.

 

Captured in the fisherman's hut in the same Caribbean Sea, but some distance south of Cuba.
