Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of adversity and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent 20th-century classic. The story of a down-on-his-luck Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordeal-a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream-has been cherished by generations of readers. Even though sharks eat the marlin during his journey home, the skeleton remains as proof of Santiagos valiant efforts. The story is about 84-year-old Santiagos adventures at sea and his efforts to capture an 18-foot marlin. The last of his novels Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the most enduring works of American fiction.
