1952 1st/1st Ernest Hemingway The Old Man and The Sea Novel Literature Classic



“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”

― Ernest Hemingway



Ernest Hemingway was one of the most prolific American novelists of the 20th-century publishing prize novels such as ‘A Farewell to Arms’, ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’, and ‘The Old Man and the Sea’. Considered by many to be his greatest work, ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ was the last novel published in Hemingway’s lifetime and is the shortest and most popular of all his books. ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life telling an old Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.



This 1952 first edition first state was published in 1952 with only 50,000 copies printed. In May 1953, the novel received the Pulitzer Prize and was specifically cited in 1954 when Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
