A Cuban fisherman goes eighty-five days without catching anything and ventures out to sea, where a huge marlin takes his bait. For three days, the old man wages a solitary struggle against the fish, in a duel of endurance and respect that confronts him with his own limits.

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.
