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 Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. It is noteworthy in twentieth century fiction, reaffirming Hemingway's worldwide literary prominence as well as being a significant factor in his selection for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this definitive audio collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style -- from the plain bald language of his first story to his mastery of seamless prose that contained a spare, eloquent pathos, as well as a sense of expansive solitude. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.

Short novel by Ernest Hemingway, published in 1952 and awarded the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Completed after a 10-year literary drought, it was his last major work of fiction. The novel is written in Hemingway's characteristically spare prose. It concerns an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago who finally catches a magnificent fish after weeks of not catching anything. After three days of playing the fish, he finally manages to reel it in and lash it to his boat, only to have sharks eat it as he returns to the harbor. The other fishermen marvel at the size of the skeleton; Santiago is spent but triumphant.
Ernest Hemingway. A Farewell To Arms
The greatest American novel to emerge from World War I,
A
Farewell to Armscemented Ernest Hemingway’s reputation as one
of the most important novelists of the twentieth century. Drawn largely from
Hemingway’s own experiences, it is the story of a volunteer ambulance driver
wounded on the Italian front, the beautiful British nurse with whom he falls in
love, and their journey to find some small sanctuary in a world gone mad with
war. By turns beautiful and tragic, tender and harshly realistic, A
Farewell to Armsis one of the supreme literary achievements
of our time.
Ernest Hemingway. The Sun Also Rises
Published
in 1926 to explosive acclaim, The Sun Also Rises
stands as perhaps the most impressive first
novel ever written by an American writer. A roman à clef about a group of
American and English expatriates on an excursion from Paris’s Left Bank to
Pamplona for the July fiesta and its climactic bull fight, a journey from the
center of a civilization spirtually bankrupted by the First World War to a
vital, God-haunted world in which faith and honor have yet to lose their
currency, the novel captured for the generation that would come to be called “Lost”
the spirit of its age, and marked Ernest Hemingway as the preeminent writer of
his time.
