The Old Man and the Sea (Para. 5)
The Old Man and the Sea, the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to the awarding of the Noble Prize in Literature Hemingway in 1954. The story appears to be a simple story of an aging Cuban fisherman (Santiago), who catches an enormously large marlin far out in the Gulf Stream then loses it again. However, there's much more than that. The themes that have been widely discussed include man vs. nature, perseverance, unseen heroism and religion.

The Sun Also Rises (Para. 3)
The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, is widely considered Hemingway's greatest work. The novel is set in the 1920s, and deals with members of the post World War I Lost Generation, who are cynical and disillusioned and many of whom suffer psychological and physical wounds as a result of the war. The main character, Jake Barnes, is a journalist whose war injuries have left him impotent. He is deeply in love with the British Lady Brett Ashley who also loves him. However, they are unable to consummate their love, and Jake is left to helplessly watch Brett drifting through a series of affairs despite her love for Jake, with devastating consequences.
