Here are some quotes from the book that are referenced by many authors. Hemingway’s story depicts the struggle of the fisherman against nature as he learns the lessons by Mother Nature which make him undergo a transformation. As if eighty-four days without catching a worthy prize isn’t enough, the fishing village avoids him, especially a kid named Manolin, who considers Santiago his role model but has to leave him and join the services of successful fishermen deemed ‘lucky’ by his parents. However, he is always down on his luck as far as fishing is concerned. The Old Man and the Sea tells us the story of a man named Santiago, who is a fisherman by profession. After its release, the book received literary acclaim for its prose and invoked excitement among his fans.
Instead, it narrates an important experience of the most seasoned fisherman living in his small town. The Old Man and the Sea was based on the experiences of Ernest Hemingway’s friend Gregorio Fuentes.įishing stories have involved either a big catch slipping out of our hands or a cautionary tale aimed towards the sea. After ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’, he wrote the ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ after eleven years, catapulting him back into the literary spotlight. Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest American authors of 20th century fiction.
