The Old Man And The Sea, 1952
(Ernest Hemingway)
The American classic which bagged the Pulitzer and Nobel, "The Old Man and the Sea" is the fruit and bloom of a mature Hemingway, "The Prophet of Apotheosis". This novel, which is pregnant with deep meaning, depicts the heroic combat of the old man with Nature, a battle which takes on heroic proportions. What is most striking about the novel is that it is highly brief (some 80 pages). Only Hemingway could squeeze all this inspiring action, profound symbols, the unmistakable Christian undercurrent and disturbing images into such a pithy, if not terse mould. In a nutshell, the novel is a compelling tale of human perfection, which may be gobbled up in one sitting.
