The Old Man and The Sea
by Ernest Hemingway
This story reinforces the importance of faith, courage, and persistence.
It is the epitome of the tenancity and enduring nature of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Hemingway makes sure that the reader feels every moment of Santiago's struggle - he laboured to catch that fish. As a reader you cannot help but despiar over what happens but there are such quaint moments of optimism which make this novella: Santiago's self-belief his luck will turn; Manolin's admiration and adoration of Santiago.
This is so vividly written and you cannot help but root for for Santiagio, but I concede there is a kurking sense of frustation felt towards Santiago.
Ultimately, I'm glad I read this and in intrigued to read more of Hemingway's work.
