About This Novel

This book selects the writer's Nobel-winning work "The Old Man and the Sea" and his novel "The Sun Also Rises". Among them, "The Old Man and the Sea" is one of Hemingway's most representative works. After eighty-four consecutive days without catching a fish, Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, finally caught a big marlin alone. However, the fish was so big that he dragged his boat on the sea for three days before exhaustion. He killed him and tied him to the side of the boat. On the way back, he was repeatedly attacked by sharks. When he finally returned to port, only the head, tail and a spine were left. Although this is a work with a simple story and a small length, it is rich in meaning and popular.

After reading this novel, I really learned something philosophical: a person is not born to be defeated. You can destroy him, but you can't defeat him.

People are not born because of defeat. A person can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated.

I think this book is very good, and I was moved by the old man's perseverance. But when I was asked to write down some reading notes, why couldn't I write them down?

We must learn from the old man's spiritual qualities. He has firm beliefs and never gives up.

old man and sea

An intriguing piece of work. The sea is gentle but also capricious and cruel, but whether it is calm or stormy, we should face the "monsters" in navigation with super strong will and unyielding spirit like the old man. We can be destroyed, but we can never be defeated. This is not only responsible for our own lives, but also where our faith lies. No matter whether it is sunny or rainy in life, you should be fearless and dare to fight against the wind and rain.

I spent more than 30 yuan to buy this book. I didn't expect it to be so cheap here.
