The Old Man and the Sea


Day will be held April 23 World Book Day and as I have been doing at this time in previous years, I'll ask you to go near a bookstore, you to buy a book and you read it. Moreover, in this post I will also introduce a work that is not subject taurine, although the author himself has a close relationship with sanfermines : Ernest Hemingway.


Ernest Hemingway wrote the novel in 1951 entitled The Old Man and the Sea . It was a universal success and, indeed, became the vital asset to this author in 1954 would receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. So The Old Man and the sea became novel Hemingway's best-known and is included in the ranking of the most famous of the twentieth century. However, it must also be noted that leave was widely questioned.


Hemingway in this novel tells the story of Santiago, an old fisherman who already has seen its best days at sea and at the beginning of the story, has eighty-four days without catching a single fish. People think it is finished and will support you bad luck, so you shun your company. Only love keeps you young boy named Manolin, who learned to fish with him, and keeps his love for the veteran fisherman, without hearing the rumor mill neighbors but opposed by her father.


For his part, Santiago curses his luck, but do not lose hope that the streak will change and, therefore, is shipped offshore looking for that moment. He does solo and as reluctant to abandon tradition, remaining true to its fishing gear and giving up on new developments to provide progress. In this get out, finally, a huge swordfish fishing after hard days of struggle against nature and against its own animal. Face to face.


The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel, very short but very dynamic and intense. And the story told tells us about nature, feelings, friendship, achievement, nobility ... Concepts that make extrapolabe to other areas and hobbies (including ours). As an end, although it is somewhat disconcerting.


Part of speech critical of overvaluation, but you can not deny that The Old Man and the Sea is a great film and, therefore, I recommend it to celebrate the next World Book Day and face the holidays approaching.
