About This Novel
"The Old Man and the Sea" is one of the masterpieces of the American writer Hemingway. It was published in 1952 and was the last novel published by the author during his lifetime. In Hemingway's own words, this is "the best work he can write in his life. Other excellent and mature works are greatly inferior to it." Hemingway created many "tough guy" images in his works, among which Santiago in "The Old Man and the Sea" is a representative one. The old man Santiago fought with the big fish at sea, adhering to his life motto "A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated." It was a duel between the strong and the strong, and only in this duel can the "tough guy" spirit become more dazzling. In the end, the old man dragged the fish bones back home. He failed, but he became an out-and-out hero.
