«El Vell i la mar» is the novella by Ernest Hemingway, published by Editorial Proa in 1995, with 103 pages, in Catalan.
The story centres on Santiago, an elderly Cuban fisherman, and his effort to defeat a huge marlin; the work has been interpreted as an allegory of human struggle against nature and of perseverance in the face of adversity.
Hemingway wrote El Vell i la mar in 1951 in Cuba; the work was originally published in 1952 and was Hemingway's last work of fiction published in his lifetime.
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. Known for an economical, understated style that influenced later 20th-century writers, he has been romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken, blunt public image. Some of his seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works have become classics of American literature, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature.
