The article discusses the problem of the old age. It shows two aspects of it that are presented in Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea and The Old Man at the Bridge. Through the attitudes of the works' protagonists the complexity and heterogeneity of that phenomenon are proven. The article tries to show that the old age, like any other stage of human life, not only takes something away, but also gives new values. Old people do not constitute a homogeneous group; each individual experiences the old age in the way that is typical of himself or herself only. The old people from the works by Ernest Hemingway are a perfect example. They prove that there is a certain category of people who experience `the third age' not only in a cheerful and dignified way, but also as a period that gives them new possibilities of development and activity. On the other hand they are proof of the fact that one can assume a different attitude towards the old age – one of passive resignation, sometimes changing into the state of desperate escape connected with confining oneself to one's own world. The characterization of the old age and of getting old based on the literature of the subject made it possible to define these two notions from the point of view of biology, psychology and philosophy. The attitudes of an old man have become the key problem here; the attitudes towards life, death, the world, people, and especially towards one's own senility. Defining its specificity allows drawing a full image of the old age. A literary analysis of the two aspects of the old age in Ernest Hemingway's stories proves the thesis that there are as many old ages as people who are getting old. The stories are a source of knowledge concerning the old age and getting old, problems and joys of this stage of life. They also have an educational function. The protagonists of the works are ready to share their wisdom and experience, they are authorities, `the guards of the collective memory', `guides to the life of young people' and people who form and maintain the bonds between generations. Ernest Hemingway's stories The Old Man and the Sea and The Old Man at the Bridge are also an inspiration for undertaking the work of self-education for the old age. Each man prepares his own way of experiencing the old age during all of his life as senility grows together with us and its quality depends on our ability to understand its meaning and value.

This essay examines the short fiction of Ernest Hemingway in the light of Mircea Eliade’s notion of the camouflage of the sacred and the larval survival of original spiritual meaning. A subterranean love pulsates beneath the terse dialogue of Hemingway’s characters whose inner life we glimpse only obliquely. In the short play (“Today Is Friday”) and four short stories (“The Killers,” “A Clean Well-Lighted Place,” “Old Man at the Bridge,” and “The Light of the World,” discussed here, light imagery, biblical allusions, and the figure of Christ, reveal a hidden imaginary universe. This sacral dimension has been largely overlooked by critics who dwell on the ostensible spiritual absence that characterizes Hemingway’s fiction.

The impetus behind this study is to investigate how pauses produce silence that indicate (a) declaration of nothingness, (b) psychological resistance and (c) ideological stance. The paper investigates the pauses in the texts and reveals the relationships between silence produced by pauses and themes of the stories. The paper argues that, first; Hemingway portrays the psychological resistance of the fictional characters using silence. Second, silence is used as a thematic marker in Hemingway’s stories implying nothingness. Lastly, silence contributes to ideological stance.

The object of attention in this article is bullfi ghting — the show that in the minds of tourists is associated with Spain. Serbian writers such as Jovan Dučić, Rastko Petrović, Ivo Andrić, Miloš Crnjanski, Miodrag Kujundžić, Tanasije Mladenović, Miodrag Popović, Gordana Kuić, Gordana Ćirjanić and Radovan Vučković in their works include this important element of Spanish culture which evokes extreme emotions both in Spain and outside its borders.
