![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hemingway has written more than a dozen books, two widely known titles are For whom the bell tolls and Farewell to Arms. The book The old man and the sea is a story that was written by Ernest Hemingway and American author. A story of an old man who battles nature. There might be a lot of meaning in the text as well, but as Hemingway himself stated, ‘the sea is just the sea, the sharks are just sharks, and, ‘All the symbolism that people say is sh*t.’ As a result, it’s a simple narrative conveyed in a huge way. The battle with the marlin is arduous, but he perseveres his determination is amazing.Īs a result, it is also a narrative about success and failure, as well as discovering defeat in success. The struggle that ensued is an epic battle between an old, seasoned fisherman and a huge marlin. Santiago, the main character, has had his fair share of bad luck he hadn’t caught a fish in 84 days, but as he sailed out into the Gulf Stream, he snagged a massive marlin. He succeeds in presenting a narrative as if you were there with the fisherman at the time.Īlthough it is simple to read, it has a deep story. The plot in the book is fairly simple to read Hemingway talks clearly, precisely and avoids using extra complex terms. One is sucked into the tale, and Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) has done an excellent job of capturing the reader’s attention. This small booklet is pretty amazing and fascinating, in my opinion. The old man and the sea is a novel about the sea and an elderly Cuban man called Santiago. ![]()
