Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist and journalist whose spare prose and themes of endurance, courage, and dignity reshaped twentieth-century fiction. He received the Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man and the Sea and the Nobel Prize in Literature. Lee Ji-sook is a Korean picture-book creator who adapts literary texts through expressive visual storytelling. She has written and illustrated picture books including The Old Man and the Sea and later created The Wind and the Moon. In this adaptation, Lee condenses Hemingway’s famous tale into a visually accessible form for younger readers while preserving the original story’s emotional focus on perseverance, solitude, defeat, and human dignity.
