Old Man and the Sea.
I think it is implied that it is a Blue Marlin, but the book never actually specifies.
The old man and the sea. This is a really fantastic work that I would recommend.
Marlin ;The Old Man and the Sea is a novel written by American author Ernest Hemingway, in 1951 in Cuba. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
The old man and sea. I would really recommend it actually, it is a fantastic book that for such a simple idea is suprisingly tense and can be read in a single sitting. The sheer word economy is remarkable too.

Yes he did wear eyeglasses. He didn't have really poor eyesight. But he wore them mostly to see better far away (marlin fishing and in war) He wore the Windsor style eyeglasses. -Jamie Evans

Ernest Hemingway uses the word "calambre" on page sixty-two of his novel The Old Man and the Sea. So what does calambre mean? Calambre is the Spanish word for cramp. It would make complete sense for Hemingway to use this word since Santiago moved from Spain to Cuba, making him a Spaniard.
This is the book called the old man and the sea, it written by Ernest Hemingway in the 1950's. It is about an old Cuban fisherman called Santiago who has a 3 day "battle" with a marlin before he manages to catch it but the marlin is then eaten by sharks as Santiago is taking it back to land. At the end of the novel it suggests that Santiago dies from the struggle with the marlin because he feels something in his chest has broken and that something is his heart.
