SYNOPSIS  2     For whom the Bell Tolls? Ernest Hemingway returned to his country, after spending three years in Madrid, serving as a reporter for a CanadianMery Larrinua newspaper, a novel with a precise and detailed style, published in the United States, after the end of the war in Spain. In Spain, the first translation of the work was published in 1969, and since then many editions have been published by different publishers, as well as translations into other languages.      In this work, the novelist art of the writer knows how to model like no other the antagonism between life and death, the love recently unmasked by the protagonist with the certainty of rapid destruction, unforgivable. The combination of real facts and places plus the result of the author's imagination is singularly emotional. The title of the work is inspired by a phrase of John Donne: \"No one is an island, complete in itself,each man is a piece of the continent, a part of the earth, if the sea takes a portion of land, all Europe isdiminished, as if it were a promontory, or the house of one of your friends, or your own, the death ofany man diminishes me, because I am tied to humanity, therefore, never ask why the bell tolls \"Theaction of the novel unfolds in Spain during the Civil War and tells the story of a young dynamite,Robert Jordan, a Spanish teacher from Montana who fights on the Republican side.     For whom the bell tolls were published in 1940, it tells the adventures of Robert Jordan, anAmerican fighter and writer whose mission is to relate to the guerrillas to fly a bridge and facilitaterepublican military strategy. Jordán alternates with the guerrilla leader, Pablo, with Pilar, hiscompanion and with a girl who escaped the horrors of the war, called Maria (had witnessed theexecution of his parents).   Within it, death is being issued as part of its destiny. The protagonist, Robert Jordán, is based on thelife of the American professor Robert Merriman, who could not survive the war, and whom Ernest andhis companion met and met in Valencia. The novel is narrated by a sympathizer of the republicancause, but evades the simplicity of the militant work and provides one of the first documents on thebetrayal and ineffectiveness that liquidated those who defended the legitimate government of Spain.Edmund Wilson, who had accused Hemingway of being schematic in his historical analysis,celebrated the ideological complexity of Whom the Bell Tolls.      It is well known the journalistic branch that always emphasized the American writer, being of highquality newspaper articles like the extensive collection of stories that left us as a legacy. ErnestHemingway worked as a reporter during the Spanish Civil War and it was there where he alwaysshowed himself in favor of the Republican cause. That is why this book tells the story of a group ofrepublican guerrillas cornered in the mountains where they await the arrival of a dynamite \"RobertJordan.\" Of nationality Jordan participated in the war as a volunteer and was enlisted by the Republicto fly a bridge. Robert Jordan arrives at the camp directed by Anselmo, an old hunter who was caughtin the revolution and who is aware of the hiding places of those mountains.  On the other hand, thecharacters, in the form of interior monologue, expose their fears before the battle, before death, thedilemma that entails having to kill someone and especially a permanent doubt before the vision of thefuture. How will the future be when everything is over? A great novel that bears the unmistakablestyle of Ernest Hemingway. 

3 SYNOPSIS Rosa Fuentes   The Snow of Kilimanjaro explores the concepts of courage, love, faith and death. In typical Hemingway fashion, the story first educates and entices the reader to enter by providing some generic facts and promising danger and adventure.  The narrative tells us that Kilimanjaro is a 5895-meter-high snow-covered mountain, and is said to be the tallest in Africa. Its name is, in Masai, \"Ngáje Ngái\", \"the House of God\". He tells us that near the top is the dry and frozen skeleton of a leopard, and no one has ever been able to explain what the leopard was doing or searching for at that altitude.    The Snows of Kilimanjaro as all of his works is a “hard-boiled” narrative in which the author tells us in an understandable way that he has already seen the “ears of the wolf”, as an omen of death on the snowy peaks of that proud mountain. The story reflects the open soul of the writer, who undresses before our eyes through a prose that highlights the fears and illusions of the human condition a life, grappling with issues of self-preservation, acceptance, self-loathing, danger, doubt, religious belief, death and above all, life. His work is characterized by agile and quick dialogue, fast moving bringing to life the written words and providing us with three and four dimensional characters.  The main character Harry, a writer who is dying of gangrene, comes to the conclusion that in his search forwealth and luxury, he has sacrificed his art, his love, his freedom and his spiritual independence. Harry a littlefrustrated, believes that he has lost his talent as a writer, due to an over indulgence in drink, and for what heperceives to be a fundamental betrayal of who he is due to the loss of  his beliefs and his faith. Whenever Harry slept, he felt that death was near, although he was not afraid to die because death is alwaysforeboding and inevitable, no it was not death he feared most, but pain.  In one scene, after dinner with his wife,he decides to sleep outside, as he drifts off into sleep, he perceives the suffocating heaviness of death upon himand he believes he is unable to breathe, his sleep is partially stirred as the cot where he is sleeping is moved bythe servants and this releases death’s stranglehold on him and he is able to exhale and breathe again in relief.Within this dream or delirium so to speak, Harry sees as a rescue helicopter arrive to save them, however thepilot advises that only one passenger can be transported, and as he needed medical attention, he would be theonly one who could travel in transport. The pilot also warned that they would have to make a forced landing torefuel.  While the helicopter ascended, Harry saw as his wife Helen  and the servants wave goodbye to him.During the flight, the pilot took a turn, Harry sensed that they would no longer make that forced landingbecause somehow the fuel would last to reach their destination. At that moment they were flying over the top ofKilimanjaro Mountain, the top of the mountain was gigantic, quite high and covered with snow, Harry knewthat was where he had to go. The next scene describes how the  hyena who was always near the camp, began tostrangely moan, heralding a dramatic event in the story, as Helen wakes up and begins to move Harry, tellinghim to wake up, Harry did not answer, the writer was dead. What is the point of the Snows of Kilimanjaro? As with every Hemingway work, at its core, it serves as amoral example illustrating a philosophy of life that it is worth jeopardizing life itself to be true to one’s nature.That is why the frozen leopard was at the summit of Kilimanjaro.  It also serves as an introspective guide foreach reader has the opportunity to examine him or herself through the plight of the character and in a senserecognize the beauty and hope that lies within as well as exercise themselves of the fears and demons that livedeep within us all.  

SYNOPSIS  4Sonia Castro     In this novel Hemingway tackles sexual dissatisfaction and low personal esteem. This is one of the most controversial works by the author of \"Why the Bells Fold, Goodbye to Arms\" and others who put him on the seat of honor as one of the most important North American writers of his time. The Garden of Eden was conceived and edited back in 1946. Despite being contemporary with other of his novels, it did not get printed until the death of its author. So it is a posthumous novel, finished in life. It is not an autobiography, but this book shows a great imagination and why not, the complexity on the subject of love, in the writer's mind. The revelation about the vulnerability and tenderness of Hemingway, in The Garden of Eden, becomes clear. The love triangle is a custom that certainly has much acceptance in our days, although it seems to be taboo. This hot topic is part of Hemingway's work that would not have needed to incorporate it because he had the ability to carry his novel, in other directions. But the originality of the subject makes him achieve the unique effect criticized and praised by all thecritics and connoisseurs of his work: the birth of the best accomplished female character of the author,Catherine Bourne. David and Catherine, their protagonists, are a happy marriage that begins theirHoneymoon walking its love first, by all the France of the South. She, an intelligent woman whocomes from a wealthy family and in my opinion, enigmatic because his strange behavior so projects.For after the ardor of the first few days convinces him, and this is where the faintness of the novelbegins, to change the genres and take roles to which David, a writer where fame begins to knock onhis door and perhaps avid of exploring new sensations, accede.Framed in that incipient fame and seeing in the newspapers the comments of the book that has thrownit to her and pressed by the publicist for the next one, perhaps, neglects his wife. That's whereCatherine proposes to him, to incorporate another woman to the sexual relation of both and brings toMarita, a young woman who arrives to complete the love trio. Perhaps because of the twisted mind, orperhaps because David does not have the ability as a man to satisfy the sexual fantasies of a woman ashis wife. With the simplicity and genius that characterizes him, Hemingway narrates the experience ina subtle way, without entering explanatory details that would otherwise have been vulgar.The deep connoisseurs of her work say, that Catherine Bourne is the best-accomplished femalecharacter in any of her novels. Meanwhile, the character of Marita who had a hopeful beginning inhistory, is declining as the pages of the book are passed with bland and little transcendent dialogues,which spoil their participation. The book has been sold, criticized and has as one more of itscollection. However, to be fair, it is an incomplete work. The original consisted of 800 pages and only250 were published. In any case, the author with this delivery did not want to stay with the pre-established pattern of his other works, but wanted to abound in a facet unknown by his followers, andthat definitely carried inside.

5 SYNOPSIS Raul Hernandez        The first World War was a rock that fell on a glass, and the youth of the time saw the world in fragments of broken glass. The survivors of the 1914 hecatomb who had artistic anxieties seek refuge in Paris eager for unlimited experiences and freedoms. Until then Ernest Hemingway goes with his talent in embryo and his anxieties of all kinds Paris was a holiday is a chronicle of those years, revived at the end of his life and whose publication in 1964 failed to see. The light city was an inexhaustible source of proposal for his writing notebook: everyday life where the coalman who sold wood and bad wine appeared and that cooperative painted green, which provided good and cheap wine. The day by day of a newspaper that becomes chronic in their hands to reproduce a time and a unique generation: The Lost Generation. Named for Gertrudis Stain Host of fertile gatherings in which prominent poetsand writers stood out. Hemingway absorbed everything he heard. That was his most prized quality;and not only got to intimate with Ezra Pound Scott Fitzgerald or Ford Madrox, but took advantage ofall its surroundings to self-collect information. He chatted with the fishermen of the Seine, with thedependents and waitresses of bars, with vagabonds of parks. Everyone, in his judgment, hadsomething to teach him; while his pencil crumbled into shavings in the cafes. It also has theimpression left by the painting of Cezanne where he learned to perceive the different shades of springin the landscape he painted with words. Poverty forced him to walk, and that was how he found placesand tradesmen who overcame penury to be happy. He also understands that the readers of his time alsowant to think and premieres his new technique (izerberg) where he omits in the story those parts thatgive more force so that the reader understands that there is in the narration, more than what has beensaid. Writer and author form a team in the investigation of the conflict.This complicity is achieved through the direct dialogue of his characters or the conversational style ofthe narrator, as do the reporters. An excellent dialogue between him and his wife stands out with theexpression \"Do you remember\"? each dialogant introduces descriptions and magnificent stories thatare captured in the synthesis of the parliament. Always in pursuit of happiness, they lived an eternalpresent. No matter if the horse played takes its savings between the legs, there will be another chanceto win even if the fatality does not go away with a touch of wood. Ernest Hemingway wants to livethat life rescued in the fields of battles and he at last achieves it \"but Paris-writes-was a very old cityand we were young and there was nothing simple ...\" nevertheless, at the end of his hectic existenceErnest Hemingway pays the highest tribute to Paris as the most suitable place to be one. And as aconfession, he concludes: \"I have spoken of Paris as it was in the early days, when we were very poorand very happy. \"Recently, on November 13, 2016, during the minute of silence that paralyzed Francefor the terrorist crime, many anonymous citizens carried in the hand the book of Paris was a party\" it isno accident; rather it can be seen as a tribute to the Paris, the city of vibrant culture and eternal Light.

SYNOPSIS  6 Time is history’s witness creating patrimonies and collections for humanity so we may all share and become part and parcel of the history past lived. Hemingway was born in Illinois in 1899. In 1917 he was a member of the Red Cross Corps in World War I and was wounded on theDinorah Perez Acosta battlefield. He belonged to the so-called lost generation and was one of the most renowned writers of his time. He achieved fame at age 30 with his first novel Farewell to Arms and continued a long and prolific novelistic production earning a Nobel Pulitzer, before his untimely death. The novel \"True at First Light” is one of his most outstanding and unforgettable works, reflects his time in Kenya, East Africa, in 1953-1954, during a series of ethnic conflicts in the area. It was not a finished work at the time of his death but was completed posthumously by his son Patrick, edited on the centenary of his father's death in 1999, who confessed that the original text was twice as extensive.  Hemingway is a natural writer and raconteur whose vivid words and descriptive abilitytransport the reader to a space and place in time. He masterfully chronicles the physical spacein which the adventure takes place - the camp in the middle of wild nature, with its differentrhythms -, the members of the safari group, of different ethnicities and cultures, the descriptionof distinct and different human personalities and the depth of each of the characters portrayedsuch as that of Mary his wife, eager to hunt the elusive lion. He is able to depict with clarityand depth several stories simultaneously, such as the portrayal of the Great White Hunter,concerned not only with the day-to-day affairs of his safari group but also preoccupied withthe possibility of finding escaped terrorists from prison upon arriving at his camp Mau Maumakes for incredible dialogue, action and suspenseful plot twists.As with all of Hemingway’s he immerses the reader in a full learning experience, as we aretransported to Kilimanjaro and learn about being on safari, hunting: as he describes to theminute detail how to stalk, follow a trail, approach and execute a kill, ecology, and majesticAfrican legends and folklore.  As is customary in Hemingway novels the themes of courage,individualism, heroism, adventure, weapons, violence, camaraderie, friendship, politics, andlove, in short the very essence of what defines us as humans and unites us all in commonbrotherhood and sisterhood permeate the work. Perhaps to a large extent True at First Light isalmost a personal journal of Hemingway's wanderings and this honest recount of hisexperiences once again touches the depth of our common humanity.

7 SYNOPSIS  Fiesta, also known by The Sun also rises, is a beautiful love story marked by the unexpected and unrealizable and this impossible story is the thread that leads it, being Paris, the city where the plot begins. The author uses the narrative (omniscient narrator) and with it the experience lived during the War in which being volunteer of the Red Cross was reached by the shrapnel. Years later he givesOlga Muñoz life to the characters that lead the love drama, armed with sensations and experiences to describe his generation. A group of six young Americans and English, living in exile in Parisian France, plan a trip to Spain to go fishing, enjoy the San f ermines in Pamplona (in July) and learn about bullfights. Among them are two writers, a ruined aristocrat and an English Lady; all these characters establish a friendship with rivalry that will reach its climax in the festive atmosphere. Here the re-encounter of Brett Ashley (seductive woman) and Jake Barnes (hapless in their love reality) both lived during the War a beautiful love that does not get to be realized. Jake, a journalist and protagonist, (he is only a witness to facts) arrives badly injured in a hospital in Italy where he meets and falls in love with the nurse (Lady Brett,) he knows that he is reciprocated but by ironies of fate he receives the medical report he has rendered impotent as a result of the injuries suffered.                             The whole novel revolves around the same characters and places that frequent coffee or coffee Iriña amongwhom he names on numerous occasions. Once in Spain, there are a series of love problems starring Brettwho has relations with his fiancé and another of the friends, later with Pedro Romero a promising youngbullfighter. These somewhat scandalous scenarios mark Jake's position as a simple spectator. FIESTA, isthe title used in the first notes in the writing of the novel (draft) but Hemingway feared that this term wasnot understood by what consulted its biblical meaning - The Sun also rises or El sol returns (anotherversion titular The sun rises for all). However, this work must be read and analyzed from the point of viewof the time. Hemingway is a War Correspondent who conveys a reality perhaps inconceivable to aWesterner of the twenties. Jake Barnes, is an alter ego of Hemingway. The brave party, it refers to thecontrast with the generation that lost its destiny between the bombs and looks in vain to recover it in thenights of Paris. There are in the characters a bitter taste when looking for something that they lack ... Fromthe literary point of view, the author creates scenes, only with dialogues, sketches emotions contained ineach character. The descriptions make you complicit in reading; entering the streets of Paris or Pamplonaas if walking next to Jake. Live a love mutilated but delivered and faithful. It lost in the War the youth andall possibility of enjoying the sensuality but at the same time finds in the proximity of Brett, a form painfuland enduring to continue to love, sharing experiences and emotions described with a melancholy voice,because Jake, lives through the word.The novel ends with an open and unexpected ending, strolling through Madrid, after Brett breaks hisrelationship with bullfighter Pedro Romero (who describes bullfights poetically). There is in this end anacceptance of wanting and not being able on the part of lovers. The rest of the interpreters, appear in theromantic adventures of Brett but they are disappearing in the novel without much explanation. In an opendialogue for the reader to define, Brett tells Jake - it would have been nice to have had a relationship heresponds - yes, it's nice to be able to think about it ... FIESTA, is a classic, a challenge an adventure wherea river gauche Paris (to the left) and describes the bullfights in Spain (brutal and real) shows us \"inmetaphor, an era full of moral bankruptcy, impossible loves and lost illusions. \"It was taken to the moviesin 1957. 

SYNOPSIS  8 In 1929, Ernest Hemingway published his third novel, \"A Farewell to Arms\", based on real events and experiences while the author was a war correspondentMiriam Lopez-Weiss during the First World War. This book, a classic of the English literature, is rated by critics as one of the most representative work of the twenty century, it is composed of five books, each of them relates different events, but all of them are written with the same passion and dramatism. The first book focuses in the Tenanted Frederic Henry, an American paramedic who was serving under the Italian army as an ambulance driver, and his close relationship with his co- workers: the young priest, friend and confident, who most of the time was the object of inappropriate jokes by the soldiers; Rinaldi, the surgeon, full of life and very active, who was enamored of Catherine Barkley, an English nurse aide, who nurses Henry at a Hospital in Milan after his knee injury.  The second book is based on the relationship between the two during the time they spent in Milan,until Henry is released and has to go back to the front.  By this time Catherine is three monthspregnant. The third book describes the return of Henry to his unit, where soon he discovers thatthe moral of the soldiers has descended very quickly; they mutilate themselves to be excluded fromserving in the field. Frustrated, the soldiers start to rebel, Henry has to kill a sergeant due to hisinsubordination.  Because of this event, he is arrested and sent to a prison where the officers wereinterrogated and executed if they consider that they were the cause of the Italian defeat.  Henryescapes and arrives in Milan where he found out that Catherine was sent to Stresa. The fourth bookrelates the meeting of the two lovers and the time they lived in Stresa and Switzerland.   The fifth andlast book tell us that even though they never get married, the lovers lived a happy and serene life in themountains, until a complication presents and a cesarean has to be performed.  Henry is allowed toenter the operation room and try to calm her.  Catherine delivers a strong and big boy, but he is dead. In this chapter Hemingway described the emotions felt by Henry, who also loses Catherine one daylater as she suffers a hemorrhage and dies without the knowledge that her baby is also dead. Hemingway left in this novel all his philosophy of life, his disappointments, feelings, passions andabove all, his thoughts about war.  The personal experiences lived by him, while he was writing thisnovel, like the birth of his son Patrick by cesarean, the untimely death of his father, the drop of thestock market, made him, not only writing this book, but live in it.  However, according toHemingway, while he was writing it, the fact that he has to relive his experiences was one of thehappiest and cathartic moments of his life.  The fact that this book was a tragic story, did not saddenhim, because he believed that life was a tragedy and he knew ahead of time how everything was goingto end. A Farewell to Arms is not only a story about war, it is above all a great love story.  We coulddebate if this novel is the best work of Ernest Hemingway, but there is no doubt that it invigorated thefame of a writer which was beginning to evolve. 

9 SYNOPSIS  Daniel Cabrera ‘Islands in the Stream’ by Ernest Hemingway is a book that was published posthumously, nine years after his death. The monumental task of compiling the draft that had been left to his faithful wife Mary, who had done her best to edit his work as he would have wished. Two parts of the three-part-novel were intended to be a part of a trilogy alongside with ‘Old Man and the Sea’; which was a spectacular story by itself. The third part was a separate short story he wrote originally titled ‘Sea Chase’ that was reworked and incorporated into the story. Considering that Hemingway had left three-hundred-thirty-four drafts behind after his death, it must have been quite an undertaking to put it all together. It was all written in a kind of autobiographical way as the parallels between Thomas Hudson and Hemingway himself are uncanny at times. Thomas Hudson, the protagonist of this story, is a wealthy marine artist who knows that the only thing in his life he can’t replace with his art is his kids. His three sons, Tom, Dave and Andrew, that he had between two failed marriages is the primary focus of the first part of the book.Through the first part of the story—the most interesting part in my opinion—Hudson welcomes his three sonsas they visit him during the summer in the Bahaman island of Bimini.  The way the character never outwardlyexpresses his affection for his kids is tragic.  Sure, they all have a good time, but he takes a somewhat distantposition during the whole thing. His general desire to play a larger role in their lives is implied if it weren’talready plainly stated within the character’s thoughts. Outside of this and the character’s seeming inability tomaintain a stable relationship with a woman, he’s almost wise. It is seen how he maintains his crew and staffthroughout the book. How he attempts to hold himself up in the face of tragedy: how he handles life or deathsituations: knowing when to defer to others that know better than him and in the little advice he gives. When itcame to his friend Roger, a somewhat disillusioned author who had decided to write anything truly great,Hudson offers him a place to stay and tries to motivate him to write like he used to. He tried to console Rogerover the guilt he had over his brother’s death. Early on the reader s given two facts: that he’s recently upset by some mail he had received and that he’shaving trouble sleeping. Now the entire second part of the book, roughly a hundred and twenty pages worth,takes place during the course of a single dreary day. The sting of what’s bothering him always very fresh. Theway Hudson reflects and alludes in conversation about his past exploits gives it substance. Reading it was likereceiving bits of a puzzle that refuses to be whole. One memory that stands out is the one of how he broughthome one of his cats named Boise. See he was by one of his favorite bars in Cuba with one of his kids. His sondecided that he wanted the cat and there was a bit of back and forth on the matter till Hudson chose to allow it.The beautiful memories that he has between the cat and the boy were tainted by the fact that the cat outlived theboy. See most of the memories if not just all of them were like that; either ruined by remembering somethingnegative right with it or ruined by a present-day truth. If that was not bad enough, he seemed incapable oflooking at anything in a positive light as he would constantly complain in his head about one thing or the other.The chase drags on for a while taking its toll on Hudson’s ship and crew. None more than Hudson himself whoby the end is severely sleep deprived and taking fatal risks along the way. While he commanded his ship well,he ultimately got shot and bled out to death. The last thing he hears before dying is his friend telling him that henever understood anybody that loved him. All three of Hemingway’s sons had outlived him. The boys’ deathsin the book were not the point of the tragedy but rather the complacency Hudson had is. Not to say the kidswouldn’t have died anyway but at least he would have connected with them more during their time alive.  While we may never know how this book may have turned out if Hemingway himself saw it throughpublication; the book stands on its own keeping to his spirit.  

SYNOPSIS  10 \"The traces of the past should never be buried in the silence of oblivion\" Alfredo A. Ballester (Cultural Ambassador ANLM) About 60 years have passed since the events that I am going to tell you.

Of his love life, his long days of alcoholic drinks, his safaris and his long-awaited fishing of the needle. But ... the neighborhood Hemingway? The mischievous Hemingway? That Hemingway who conspired with the boys in the neighborhood to do evil things and run between them, being a big man. That impressive, grumpy-looking American who was afraid, and who, after meeting him, was just another boy in the neighborhood. We treat the journalist, war correspondent in several military battles in the world; their injuries, air accidents, their physical and mental illnesses, etc.How ... a person with all that trajectory can almost at the end of his life, keep writing, standing andbarefoot, early in the morning, then go to the edge of the pool of his house to have a drink whilereading a newspaper article, book or magazine, and also share with the boys in the neighborhood? Today, it is an honor for me, as one of the few survivors of the late days of Hemingway's life on theestate Vigia, to tell, as I did in my book Ernest Hemingway and the boys in the neighborhood, themoments that I had to share with \"the old American\" .... it was as we knew it. It was between theyears 1957-1960. I studied at Colegio Santana, located next to the famous panecitos of San Franciscode Paula, Havana, Cuba. (I have in my possession a certificate that proves that I studied there). I, likeany boy in the area, from 8 to about 11 years of age, would go out and look for mangoes around. Oneday ... I was invited by two friends, to enter the \"American\" estate, without imagining what wouldhappen. It was the first time that two men, Manolito and Luisito, came in to the Finca Vigia, and thethree of us went up to the mango trees and picked up the fruits on the floor. Suddenly! An old manwith hair and white beard leaned against a long stick.He told us something, and as we did not understand he was furious, until finally he makes gestureswith his hands ordering us to go down, we thought he was going to break his head with his menacingstick, he spoke as with the tangled tongue. I felt something hot run down one of my legs, until Ireached my shoe, I was not bleeding, it was that: from the fright, I had pissed, in my pants! Alreadyon the floor, with tremors from head to foot, he ordered us to pick up the mangoes, and he told us, inhis bad Spanish: \"The man who wants to eat mangos from my farm has to enter the main door,pointing to her, pointing out: - do not jump wall or close, do not climb to the bushes or throw stones! Ireturned to school and my father was waiting for me, another fright. There I had to explain to himabout my absence at school, and he told me that he had stolen the Nobel Prize, something I had noidea of what he was. 

11 SYNOPSIS  Rosa lia The Old Man and the Sea was the winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize and in 1954, the work  de La Soledad won the Nobel Prize for Literature. According to Enrique Cirules, a Cuban writer and essayist, the story’s roots began post World War II when Hemingway began his career as a full-time writer. One of his first works was a novel titled The Sea Book, a trilogy where he defined different aspects of the Sea, Air, and Earth. This novel was found and published after Hemingway’s death in 1970. The novel holds a special place in my heart as it not only details the life of a fisherman from my homeland of Cuba, but because it brings to mind wonderful memories of my university days in New York, newly arrived in the U.S., as I revalidated my degrees and the resurgence of my brief journalistic career. I was assigned to analyze this novel in my literature class and received the highest class grade for its presentation. In this work Hemingway explores the depth of the human condition from the viewpoint of an elderly fisherman exploring many themes including the concept of external material success versus internal/spiritual success.Hemingway’s use of almost prose-like writing in this novel lets the reader slowly discover the frailties of humannature, the vanity, self-doubt and ultimate acceptance of our human limitations. The main character, Santiago, is aworn, thin man whose only reflection of life is the spark that remains in his sea-blue eyes.  Hemingway cues us inthat although the material essence is old the spirit remains young with fire in the belly. Hemingway writes: He is anold man, but strong and lively, full of life, hope, and humility. \"Everything in him was old, except his eyes, and theywere the same color as the sea, and they were merry and unbeaten.\" As the story unfolds, Santiago has been unableto catch any fish for 84 days straight and on the 85th day he is determined to prove the Sea and the other youngerfisherman wrong. Hemingway’s words invite us to reflect inwardly and focus on one’s individual moral compass ashe writes:  After a few hours of sailing, having lost sight of the coast, a fish bit the hook. It was a huge fish, ready tofight to the death, if necessary. The boat sailed at the whim of the fish in the sea, as Santiago’s internal conflict andself-examination begins:  \"a man is not made for defeat\"; \"a man can be destroyed but not defeated\".   Santiago’squest and perseverance to conquer the fish is based on the awareness and fear of his own frailties coupled with hisneed to prove to himself and others that he was still capable and worthy as a fisherman, he would will it so: \"I wantto show you what kind of man I am, but then he would see my hand with a cramp, let him think that I am more of aman than I am, and I will be.\" I will show you what a man can do and what he can endure.\"  … \"I cannot fail myselfand die before a fish like this\". Hemingway then leads us to deeper introspection and reflection over the actionstaken by Santiago: \"You were born to be a fisherman and the fish was born to be a fish.\" \"You have not killed thefish,\" he thought, \"only to survive and sell it for food. You killed him for pride and because you are a fisherman.You loved him when he was alive and you loved him later. If you love him, it is no sin to kill him. Or is it evenmore so?\"  Hemingway then guides us to the realization that in spite of our best efforts will, skill and determination,goals and aspirations are sometimes broken, shattered and ravaged much like sharks in the story ravage Santiago’sprize marlin on the road to his redemption as a successful fisherman.   As night draws to an end the morass ofsharks finished with the fish, leaving only the head, the thorn and the tail, sufficient to give testimony of the oldman’s great feat.Hemingway masterfully leads us, the reader through a cathartic journey of emotional empathy and introspectionculminating in the realization that material success is fickle and fleeting what is truly vital is the spirit! In thisrespect, the author teaches us all that the indefatigable spirit will always triumph over the exhaustive forces andresources of matter!
