Title : The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway - book
Summary : "The Old Man and the Sea, the last book published during its author's lifetime, reveals to the reader the final avatar of a complex personality. It summarizes the art and obsessions of an entire existence, but clarified, and finally serene. In the autumn of a life rich in promises, some of which were not sure they had all been kept, Hemingway gave birth to an admirable image of the artist and the formidable hope of a renewed message. Few artists have drawn as much material for their fiction as Hemingway. Few have drawn as much public attention to their personality, even their private life, as he did. A demanding servant of writing but also the first writer to play the role of a movie star in the literary world, Hemingway was both hero and victim of his celebrity. We know well that the truth of an artist comes from his art and not from his existence, however unusual it may be; but in Hemingway's case he appeared necessary, before analyzing the genesis of the work, to recall the stages of a life from which, precisely, his art has never ceased to nourish itself, and to show how the writer justified his vocation and his work." Geneviève Hily-Mane.
