The Old Man
and the Sea Ernest Hemingway
The last book by Ernest Hemingway ist The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway
written this book in 1952 on Cuba. The Old Man and the Sea falls into the
category short novel. For this book Hemingway won The Nobel Prize for
Literature.
The story is set in a village near Havana in the 40th the 20th century. The main
character is old Cuban fisherman Santiago. Santiago is excellent fisherman, also
he i sold and tired. He has an young asistent Manolin, who is helping him with
fishing. However they have a bad luck and they don´t catch any fish for
40 days. Therefore parents of Manolin forbid him fishing with Santiago.
Santiago fish alone and on 85 day he catch fish finally. The main plot is about
battle between an enormous fish marlin and an old man. This battle takes 2 days
and 2 nights…
The Old Man and the Sea is one of a Hemingway’s best books. The book is about
the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from
loss. It is short advanture. I read it in one afternoon. From the beginning
seem to me lengthy, but then I intent on the plot. The story is sad. I admire
persistence of the old man.
