Ernest Hemingway

The Old Man and the Sea possesses the artistic power of a biblical story or parable.

When we read this short novel, we are left with an unforgettable image of an old fisherman who, after a long and difficult fight (three days and three nights), finally overcomes a large swordfish about six meters long and weighing about 750 kilograms. The fight is so difficult and uncertain that the old man Mahove loses strength and almost dies himself. When he eventually emerged victorious from that duel and tied the fish to his small boat, his prey was attacked and snatched by sharks who had smelled the blood in the sea. An equally difficult fight with those sea robbers follows, a fight in which the old man kills or wounds several sea nemans with his utmost strength and along the way is left without weapons - harpoon, oar and knife, and in the end without his rich catch... ...The old man and the sea occupies a special place in Hemingway's oeuvre. It was not only the last flare of his creative genius, but also a summary of accumulated experience as a storyteller and fisherman. His prose is usually said to be "hard-boiled", which is to say that it is pithy, tenacious and restrained. Many writers tried to imitate his style, but without particular success....
