Summary

The Old Man and the Sea is a novella written by American writer Hemingway in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.

The story revolves around an elderly Cuban fisherman fighting a huge marlin in the Gulf Stream far from the shore. Although the old man in Hemingway's works is tragic, he has the qualities of Nietzsche's "superman", accepting failure calmly and facing death calmly and bravely. These "tough guys" embody Hemingway's philosophy of life and moral ideals, that is, the fighting spirit of mankind who never bows to fate and never admits defeat and the positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
