“But man is not made for defeat,” he said. “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” This tremendously famous novella, written in 1952, underlined Hemingway's influence and presence in the literary world. The Old Man and the Sea is a story of friendship between Santiago, an old fisherman, and his young friend Manolin. The narrative, set in the Gulf Stream, flows around heavy-on-his-luck Santiago and his tussle with the giant Marlin fish. In this novella, Hemingway masterfully portrayed relatable themes such as personal triumphs, friendship, perseverance, suffering, pride and respect. This twentieth-century classic is one of the most enduring works of American fiction.
