Old Man and Sea
About This Novel
The old fisherman Santiago went to sea for eighty-four days without catching anything. The little boy Manolin who followed him also had to go to another fishing boat, but he did not despair. On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago finally caught a big fish, "it looked like more than fifteen hundred pounds." After being dragged by the big fish and sailing for two days and two nights, and after a difficult struggle, he finally killed the big fish and started to return. However, the blood shed by the big fish attracted many sharks one after another. With no food and no helpers, Santiago tenaciously killed one shark after another. But when he finally returned to the harbor, all that was left of his hard-earned big fish was the wreckage.
