"The Old Man and the Sea" is Hemingway's representative work.
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 he was exhausted. Although this is a work with a simple story and a small length, it is rich in meaning. Many teachers use it as a teaching material on heroism education and recommend it to students, making it an enduring bestseller.
Reader comments
I love this book so much! It tells the story of an old fisherman fighting a big fish. It's really exciting! The old man's words at sea, "A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated" made me feel his tenacity and unyieldingness. I like the battle between the old man and the big fish, and also like his fight with the shark on the way home. This book made me understand that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face it bravely like an old man and persevere to the end!
People can be destroyed but cannot be defeated.
Very good, very pretty
Classic, but a bit obscure, it's not bad if you just read it as a story
