Old Man and Sea
About This Novel
Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" caused widespread sensation after its publication. This work won the 54th Nobel Prize for Literature. The old man fished alone at sea and had no harvest for eighty-four days. Then on the eighty-fifth day, he caught a very big fish, fought with it for two days and two nights, and stabbed it to death with a spear gun. However, on the way back, he encountered a shark attack. Wave after wave of sharks came to snatch food. Although the old man, who lacked helpers and tools, killed several sharks, the big fish was also eaten by other sharks. When he returned to the port, only a set of bones was left in the big fish.
