Old Man and Sea
About This Novel
Hemingway won the 54th Nobel Prize for Literature for this work, which caused a huge sensation after its publication. An old man fished alone at sea and had no harvest for several months. Later, he caught a large swordfish, fought with it for two days and two nights, and stabbed it to death with a spear gun. However, he was attacked by a shark on the way back. Although the old man lacked helpers and tools, he killed several sharks, but the swordfish was eaten by other sharks. When he entered the harbor, only a set of bones was left in the swordfish.

Don't judge heroes by their success or failure
When I watched it back then, I saw that the old man only dragged back a skeleton. I was shocked, uncomfortable, and had mixed feelings. But I deeply remember the sentence, don't complain about the tools you don't have, think about what you can do with what you have now. Now that I have seen it again, I am very happy. Others will not care about your hard work. Tourists will only see the beautiful skeleton and will not pay attention to the origin of the skeleton. But so what, the old man defeated himself, the ocean did not stop him, the swordfish did not defeat him, and the sharks did not defeat him. He came back with this skeleton and himself. He stayed in the wind and waves for two days and two nights. He took away three sharks and used all the tools he could use. This is how life should be. You will not be born with a golden key in your mouth, and you will have to face the unrewarded results of hard work, so what! That process is your wealth, how can the sail you raise for your goal fall down!
A tough guy book
Advantages, simple language and full of power Disadvantages: There is too little content. Only four-fifths of the book is novel content. The translation is not very good. Most of the third person only uses he (including animals), which is easy to confuse. Other, impeccable
I have always wanted to read it, both in English, and now I finally have it. There are many inappropriate translations in the following preface! In my opinion, the person who said this is a bit picky. It doesn't hurt to stand and talk! Since it is a translation, even the original work cannot satisfy everyone's tastes. These can only be regarded as personal opinions and cannot be published later! Before I read it, when I listened to other people's general explanations, in my mind, such a thing should have happened in an environment of thunder and lightning and heavy rain! After reading it, I realized it was not what I imagined! The weather in this article has been great! His quality is only determined by the character's heart! The previous preface said that Hemingway wrote about environmental protection, but I don't think so! I think this is just a novel. Just to write about the kindness of the old man and his contentment with life! I think there is a bit of Chinese philosophy in it, which is the dialectical relationship between existence and non-being, and its impact on our lives! From nothing to something, from something to nothing, the nothing that ends later is a kind of something before going out to sea! The process of existence and absence in the middle is our life! At different times, happiness, pain or not only depends on your attitude towards the problem!
old man and sea
An old man, a sea... I closed the book and walked to the window, quietly without speaking. For a long time, I closed my eyes, imagined, traveled, looked, and thought. Finally, I saw a story - the old man and the sea, look. That's exactly the book I'm looking for, one tear-jerking story after another, one heart-wrenching scene after another, an old man? Oh. I know who he is. I like him very much, don't ask me why. After walking the road to the sea, I opened my eyes. It turned out that what was dripping on the back of my hand was not rain, but tears...
What kind of person is called a hero? --The old man and the sea
I have always thought that heroes are successful people. Those who fail are not called heroes until I saw the old man and the sea. The story of the old man and the sea is actually very simple. It is an old man who fished and had not caught any fish for several months. When he finally caught a big fish, the fish was targeted by a shark. The old man and the shark began a desperate struggle. In the end, although the old man drove the shark away, only the bones of the big fish were left. At first I thought this story was very funny, and it took me a long time to get back a fish bone. After laughing, I slowly realized that only such people can be called heroes. Being a hero is not about how many achievements you have achieved. A hero is when you face something that you know is much stronger than you, but you still choose to fight and face it bravely. A hero is a kind of courage who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel in the mountains with tigers. Only such people can be called heroes! What kind of person do you think can be called a hero? Come and discuss with me now! Text: Baizhu
I don't understand why this book is a world famous book. I feel that the writing is average.
Faith, the driving force of life
It feels different from the translation of the paper books I read when I was in school, and it is slightly less literary. However, the story of the old man and the sea is still touching. People have to be impressed by the greatness in the ordinary; young people in real society should have this fearless spirit and the belief to never give up!
The brave old man, with firm belief, the cruel sea, the law of survival of the weak and the strong
Hemingway is also a wonderful flower, cherishing words like gold. I simply can't stand it when I read the works of some American writers (Stephen King is the strongest). They write nonsense, and there are often thousands of words of nonsense.
Very beautiful, very beautiful! ! ! ! !
