I have always loved Hemingway's direct and impactful writing. This is short story/novella but it will definitely leave a mark on the readers.
It's a story about how life challenges your will and endurance to pain and hardship. It's a story about how in suffering the only companion you have is yourself and nature. But that doesn't mean that you can't seek out help once the suffering ends or dies down.
I really loved that it painted the big picture of how a man can be destroyed but not defeated.
This is not just a story about a fisherman. It's about so much more and I definitely recommend this to everyone. I think everyone should give this a read.
