• Ernest Hemingway • The Old Man and the Sea
may be well-known as one of the true classics of this generation. Certainly, the qualities of Ernest Hemingway's short novel are those which we associate with many great stories of the past: near perfection of form within the limitations of its subject matter, restraint of treatment, regard for the unities of time and place, and evocative simplicity of style.
• On still another it is a parable of
religious significance, its theme supported by the writer's unobtrusive handling of Christian symbols and metaphors. Like Coleridge's Ancient Mariner,.
On another level the book is a fable of the unconquerable spirit of man, a creature capable of snatching spiritual victory from circumstances of disaster and material defeat.
• This is a book about the old fisherman who lives alone in sea
fishing. After the 84 days with nothing he caught a huge marlin . It had never been seen and heard of for the old man. The fish was at least longer than his boat two feet . The fish is very large, dragging the boat drifted for two days and nights, the elderly was in a never suffered through a difficult test in these two days and two nights. Finally the fish was stabbed and tied to the bow. However, it is unfortunate that a shark suddenly turned up in returning, the elderly and the Shark had a desperate struggle, finally, the giant marlin was eaten up by shark. After some bitter, the old people dragged home only a bare and a skeleton of the injury, but he still be appreciated
Hemingway's Cuban fisherman is a character allowing the imagination of his creator to operate simultaneously in two different worlds of meaning and value, the one real and dramatic, the other moral and devotionally symbolic

under the water.
• WrFra Baidu bibliotekters must reproduce the exposed
surface of the water that one-eighth. The rest should be left to the reader to understand and imagine
• “The Old Man and the Sea” is a
product of this theory into practice. It is brief, without a superfluous word , just like the tip of the iceberg, simple-clear, fresh and biting.
Also, like most great stories, it can be read on more than one level of meaning.
• On one it is an exciting but tragic
adventure story. Sustained by the pride of his calling, the only pride he has left, a broken old fisherman ventures far out into the Gulf Stream and there hooks the biggest marlin ever seen in those waters. Then, alone and exhausted by his struggle to harpoon the giant fish, he is forced into a losing battle with marauding sharks; they leave him nothing but the skeleton of his catch.
