The Old Man and The Sea
by Ernest Hemingway

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal -- a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novella confirmed his power and
presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Hemingway on Fishing
by Ernest Hemingway

From childhood on, Ernest Hemingway was a passionate fisherman. He fished the lakes and creeks near the family's summer home at Walloon Lake, Michigan, and his first stories and reportage were often about his favorite sport. Here, collected for the first time in one volume, are all of his great writings about the many kinds of fishing he did-from trout in the rivers of northern Michigan to marlin in the Gulf Stream.

Hemingway On Fishing is a full, diverse, and fascinating collection of the great novelist's writing about fishing. From the early Nick Adams stories and the memorable chapters on fishing the Irati River in The Sun Also Rises to such late novels as Islands in the Stream, this collection traces the evolution of a great writer's passion; the range of his interests; and the sure uses he made of fishing, transforming it into the stuff of great literature.

Zane Grey on Fishing
by Terry Molt - 2004

This selection of fishing stories from the 1920s and 30s by Zane Grey will fire the imagination and fishing passion of any angler. Excerpts are from Greys major works on his fishing adventures in California, the Pacific Northwest, Florida, Nova Scotia, New Zealand (my own country), Australia, Mexico, Tahiti, and the Galapagos Islands. No-one, even these days, writes about fishing quite like
Zane Grey - his colourful and wonderfully descriptive language brings alive his detailed and authoritative accounts of the exciting battles won and lost with the toughest fish the oceans and rivers of the world provide. It is interesting that many of his best stories relate to battles lost - many fishermen would have given up in disappointment, but not Grey - he continued on searching for the elusive and record fish all his life, and from any perspective was enormously successful.
