The Old Man and the Sea is a deceptively simple work. An old man
goes fishing. He catches a giant marlin after much struggle. Sharks
attack and destroy the fish. The old man is left with the bare
bones of the fish-a Monday morning "fish story." But much lies
beneath the surface. The action is condensed and presented in
carefully crafted images, in words and details selected because of
their multivalent meanings, and in several external narrative
strands, present primarily as allusions and echoes. The authors
fish below the surface of The Old Man and the Sea to determine what
is contained in Hemingway's allusions. They trace the development
of symbols, amplify literary echoes, and contextualize the work's
mythological, religious (including Afro-Cuban religion), and
philosophical references. They examine the hybridity of genre in
The Old Man and the Sea and engage multiple literary and critical
methodologies. Although the reputation of The Old Man and the Sea
has waxed and waned, it has continued to be read by successive
generations of students and literary scholars. This book is written
for both audiences. Young readers will discover that surface
details have depth and resonance; senior scholars will be
challenged to apply new approaches.
