Background of The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man and the Sea is a novella written by American writer Ernest Hemingway in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952.

The story revolves around an elderly Cuban fisherman battling a giant marlin in the Gulf Stream far offshore. Although the old man described by Hemingway is tragic, he has the "superman" quality of Nietzsche, accepting failure calmly and facing death calmly and bravely. These "tough men" reflect Hemingway's philosophy of life and moral ideal, that is, human beings do not bow to fate, never admit defeat fighter spirit and positive and optimistic attitude towards life
