* {{Narm}}: The Polish title of the novella, ''Stary człowiek i morze'', while being a perfectly faithful rendition of the original, has the dubious distinction of being one of the most chuckle-inspiring titles in the history of Polish translations due to the fact that the pronunciation of the "sea"-meaning word ''morze'' and ''może'', the latter of which literally means "he/she/it can", sounds about the same. And when the verb ''może" is left without a complimentary, it is commonly associated with sexual prowess. So the whole title, when read aloud, might just as well say "An old man who can still get some".
