Abstract
This pnper deals with falamic images in !lemingwny's novel The Old Afan nn the Sen, n topic which hn,r never been ernmined at nil. /feming-wny's ideas nhnut /.~/nm could have been derived from the projhund lslamiciznlion of Spanish culture which he had known throuf.!h listening to stories around snfnri campfires, hunting and rhe proper hehm•ior of man. The influence of Islam on hemin[lWny's novel is e\'ident from Islamic insinuations such as man's nllraction to rhe sen, and /.ffnmic ideals and ethics as can be observed in the image of the "fine", the image of the Hl.efl hand" vs. The "riKht hnnd".the image of pride. the image of endurance nnd man's infirmity, and the image of respect for and admiration of sea creatures. These images show affinities between hemin Wny's story and !slam.
