[The Old Man and the Sea] Written by Ernest Hemingway Translated by Best Trans Thumbnail: Original first edition cover from 1952 used Publisher: Mir Book Company Data screen: The Old Man And the Sea, Aleksandr Petrov, 1999. Commentary 00:00 Text 02:00 [The Old Man and the Sea] is the last masterpiece Hemingway published before his death, and is set in Cuba, where he lived for twenty years, and the Gulf Stream, where he enjoyed fishing. Brief synopsis: Santiago, an old fisherman who has not caught a fish for 84 days. The only person on his side in the village is a young boy who taught him how to fish, and no one wants to be close to him because his luck has run out. On the 85th day, Santiago goes out to sea alone on a boat and encounters an unexpected situation, engaging in a fierce battle with a fish. [The Old Man and the Sea] was published as a book after its full text was published in the September 1952 issue of [Life] magazine, and it received great acclaim when it was published as a book, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. The appeal of [The Old Man and the Sea], which contains a story that takes place on the sea for about five days, lies in its portrayal of an indomitable spirit that never gives up. The Swedish Academy announced that it was awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature because [The Old Man and the Sea] is a work that “expresses due respect for all those who have fought a righteous struggle in a real world full of violence and death.” The image of an old man who fights a lonely battle in all kinds of adverse conditions without losing his elegance and fierce spirit not only leaves us deeply moved and resonates, but also the loneliness and weakness behind that fierce fight captures our hearts. Let’s appreciate [The Old Man and the Sea], a great masterpiece that delicately portrays the indomitable human figure living a fierce life and the human weakness behind it based on the author’s mature insight into the cruel reality. Hoping that it will be a place of rest in your daily life.
