The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

This week, we delve into one of THE American classics – published in 1952, one of Hemingway's later works, and the shortest book yet on our list (which, to be honest, we were not too sad about). It earned a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and contributed to Hemingway being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. We chat about themes of human vs. nature, endurance and death, and the omnipresent question: why is this a classic?  Let us know your thoughts on our Instagram @throughthepagespod!
