Won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1953). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 1 other award.

The Old Man and the Sea won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. 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. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic.
