Only now did I get to know this about it - from the Wikipedia article:
[ The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cuba, and published in 1952.[1] It was the last major work of fiction by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.[2]
In 1953, The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and it was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to their awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954.[2] ]
A book I love (and that's saying something because I never got the whole love of reading) is "The Young Man and the Sea". I have no idea the author or relation to Hemingways work, as I've never read "The Old Man and the Sea".
I read it as a teenager.
Googled it now because of your comment.
