About Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. He was a famous author who wrote about war, fishing, and drinking. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. Hemingway died in 1961.
He moved from place to place because he never longed for anything enough to stay in one place for a long time. He became famous when his first novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926), was published. Then he wrote more books that were also popular, like A Farewell to Arms (1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), and The Old Man and the Sea (1952). These were all about war, love, and fish.
He was a brave soldier too. He fought in World War I and won a medal for bravery under fire. In the 1940s, he reported from Europe as a journalist during World War II.
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway’s best-known novels. It was published in 1952, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and is required reading in many high schools.
The novel tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago who has gone 84 days without catching any fish. One day, he hooks a huge marlin but must fight it alone because his young apprentice ran away. He struggles for days to reel the big fish in by himself. At last, he kills it with a harpoon and tries to get it back to shore before sharks eat it all.
The novel ends with Santiago returning home empty-handed—his enormous catch eaten up by sharks during his struggle to bring it back to land.
