His best. Time may show it to be the best single piece of any of us, I mean his and my contemporaries. William Faulkner.The Old Man and the Sea, an apparently simple fable, represents the mature Hemingway at his best, and it is still one of his most read books. In 1954 Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style.Hemingways style was famously simple. In responding to a critic, he said Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I dont know the tendollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use. Using these simpler and better words he tells the unforgettable story of Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman down on his luck, who goes out alone far from the shore in search of one last victory and catches a huge marlin longer than his boat. He is tested to the very limits of his skill and strength and returns destroyed but not defeated. This, of course, also refers to Hemingway, who, in his last years, was in constant pain from years of adventures and accidents but still able to do his best work. A classic novella that can be read in a single sitting.Ernest Miller Hemingway (18991961) was an American journalist, novelist, shortstory writer, and sportsman. He loved Cuba, where he had a home, and where he placed his Nobel Prize medal in the custody of the Catholic Church for the benefit of the local people. His economical and understated stylewhich he termed the iceberg theoryhas had a strong influence on twentiethcentury fiction. Many of his books are considered classics of American literature. Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Faulkner the Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since.
