Descripción del libro usado "The old man and the sea"
|
|
Shorter than the conventional novel. Longer than the longest short story, Hemingway''s new work of fiction eludes classification. What can be confidently asserted is that it is a masterly example of literary art, simple and magnificent. Every word in it right; not one word could the story have been told so effectively.
It is the story of a young boy, an old man, and a giant fish. The scene is the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana. Between the boy and the man is a perfect relation-ship- each is a kind of guardian-companion to the other. The boy is not present when the giant fish is hooked, and his absence is felt. The old man, embodying the essential nobility of human striving, is engaged in a duel with another hero - the fish which is exhausted and is lashed alongside the boat, sharks attack it: the old man''s single-handed efforts (''I wish the boy were here'') must continue...
In effect, the story is a tragedy but a tragedy that, at the last, emerges without grief into beauty.
