Santiago is shown to be pitted against the vagaries of nature since he has been unsuccessful at snaring a fish for 84 days. Even when successful, his efforts at showing off his skills are thwarted by sharks who strip the fish, leaving only the skeleton behind. The Old Man is the symbol that represents all of mankind and the Sea is the force of nature that shows us how minuscule man really is in the grand scheme of things.

For Whom the Bell Tolls Set in the backdrop of the Spanish War, For Whom the Bell Tolls is one of Ernest Hemingway's most notable war stories. The protagonist, Robert Jordan, an American war volunteer, is given the task of aligning with a Spanish guerrilla unit and blowing up a bridge. While executing his task, he falls in love with a woman called Maria and develops animosity toward the leader of the camp.

What will be the fate of his love? Will he succeed in his mission to blow up the bridge? A Farewell to Arms A Farewell to Arms was written in a simple, yet stark language and included profanity, just as a soldier would utter on a battleground.

His publisher had it replaced with dashes but Hemingway painstakingly wrote out the rude words and presented a copy to James Joyce! Published in 1929, it is believed to be a largely autobiographical account of war. Using short, punchy sentences, Hemingway recreates the rhythm of war.

Green Hills of Africa Green Hills of Africa by Ernest Hemingway is an account of his safari across the Serengeti. In his usual understated style, Hemingway shares his love and fascination for big-game hunting, bringing to the fore the excitement of the chase and the gory ferocity of the kill.

It is also a wonderful glimpse into the beauty of the African landscape, a wilderness that was already falling prey to human incursions
