After 84 days without taking a fish, Santiago is soon to catch something larger than he can ever imagine. It is his courage and perseverance of character that enables him to go out to sea in his weather-beaten boat each day.
In the midst of ridicule from younger fishermen, Santiago finds courage in his friendship with a young boy, Manolin, who has fished with Santiago since he was five years old. But because of Santiago's "bad luck," Manolin's parents will not allow the boy to fish with Santiago any more.
This short novel shows the outcome of one man's endurance in the midst of defeat, and how the friendship of a young boy gives him hope. The Old Man and the Sea won author Ernest Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize in 1953.
