Ernest Hemingway is one of the most famous authors of all time. He wrote classic books like The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. His 1952 novel, The Old Man and the Sea, was named one of the “Best Books Ever” on Goodreads.
The Old Man and the Sea, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, remained on the New York Times Best Sellers list for six months. Hemingway called the book "the best I can write ever for all of my life,” according to NPR. It was the last novel that the author published during his lifetime.

The book, which has 4.7-stars on Amazon, is described as “one of the most enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.”
Hemingway spoke about the creation of the book in a 1958 interview with The Paris Review. “I had unbelievable luck this time and could convey the experience completely and have it be one that no one had ever conveyed,” he said. “The luck was that I had a good man and a good boy, and lately writers have forgotten there still are such things. Then the ocean is worth writing about just as man is. So I was lucky there. I’ve seen the marlin mate and know about that. So I leave that out. I’ve seen a school (or pod) of more than fifty sperm whales in that same stretch of water, and once harpooned one nearly sixty feet in length and lost him. So I left that out. All the stories I know from the fishing village I leave out. But the knowledge is what makes the underwater part of the iceberg.”
