    Ernest Hemingway

    Ernest Hemingway died in 1961 so he should be in the public domain, correct? If you can, I would like to read The Old Man and the Sea.
    Thank you.

    2002 - 1961 = 41

    Unfortunately, the author must have died 50+ years ago.

    Actually the 50 years thing is just a guideline. It is much more complicated and is based on publication date.

    But I don't think that page takes into account the copyright extension act of 1999.
