First edition of Hemingway's most popular novel, his last sustained work of fiction in his lifetime. On the bestseller list for half a year, the book no only silenced those who had lambasted Across the River and into the Trees, but earned its author the Pulitzer Price and the Nobel. Hemingway was sure that The Old Man and the Sea would "get rid of the school of criticism that I am through as a writer." John Dos Passos agreed later saying that the phenomenal success of The Old Man and the Sea "was like a magician's stunt."
