Looking back, Hemingway's wife would say that at the beginning of 1951 she saw early signs that "a general disintegration of Ernest's personality" was underway. This was ... the time that he began The Old Man and the Sea, the story that he had heard fifteen years earlier from a Cuban fisherman, and that would not only save his sliding reputation but bring him a Nobel.

During the following decade Hemingway's only literary efforts were Men at War: The Best War Stories of All Time (1942), which he edited, and the novel Across the River and into the Trees (1950). In 1952 Hemingway published The Old Man and the Sea, a powerful, short novel about an aged Cuban fisherman and his battle to land a giant marlin. The work won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize in fiction. In 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. The last work published during Hemingway’s lifetime was Collected Poems (1960).
