"The Old Man and the Sea," written by Ernest Hemingway and published in 1952, is a novella that follows the journey of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman. Struggling to end an 84-day streak without catching a fish, Santiago sets out into the Gulf Stream alone to prove his worth as a fisherman. After a strenuous battle, he hooks a massive marlin, but it becomes a test of strength and will. Santiago's resilience and determination are put to the ultimate test as he battles sharks, which devour his prize. Despite his loss, Santiago returns to shore with the marlin's skeleton, representing the indomitable spirit of man against nature. Hemingway's simple yet powerful narrative explores themes of endurance, pride, and the human struggle against fate.
