Stacy Keach is the perfect narrator for Hemingway's masculine stories of bullfights, fishing, boxing, and horse racing. His deep voice, theatrical flair, and apparent reverence for the writer are the perfect showcase for Hemingway's sparse prose and masterful short stories. Keach's experience in portraying Hemingway in a television series about the author adds to the understanding and depth he gives to each piece.

Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

In Art Matters, Robert Paul Lamb provides the definitive study of Ernest Hemingway's short story aesthetics. Lamb locates Hemingway's art in literary historical contexts and explains what he learned from earlier artists, including Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Cézanne, Henry James, Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, and Ezra Pound. Examining how Hemingway developed this inheritance, Lamb insightfully charts the evolution of the unique style and innovative techniques that would forever change the nature of short fiction.

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.
