The Old Man and the Sea was a big success for Ernest Hemingway when it was published in 1952.At first glance,the story appears to be a simple tale of an old Cuban fisherman who catches an enormous fish,only to lose it.There’s much more to the story—a tale of bravery and heroism,of one man's struggle against his own doubts,the elements,a massive fish,sharks and even his desire to give up.
