Written in 1951 this was the book that revived Hemingway's career. It's a short and simple tale, but has lots of hidden meaning. It's about an old fisherman who has been on an unlucky streak and has lost his young apprentice. Out of desperation the old man goes too far for a catch and almost ruins his health in the process. In the end it was all for nothing, but everyone learns a valuable lesson in the fight and struggle of an old spirit.***
