Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea is based on a previously published essay, which immediately became the best-selling novel and was recognized by critics, winning hemingway the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature for embodying the courage of man in a "real world full of violence and death."
"The Old Man and the Sea" tells that the old fisherman did not catch a fish at sea for eighty-four consecutive days, and on the eighty-fifth day, the old man caught a marlin larger than a boat. The old man and the fish circled around for two days and two nights, and finally defeated it. But on the way back, the bloody smell of the fish attracted countless sharks. The old man struggled to fight the shark, and finally the marlin was left with a huge skeleton. The child comes to see the old man, and the child thinks that the old man is not defeated.
"A man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated"
The novel The Old Man and the Sea has been translated into dozens of works. The indestructible spiritual strength that human beings display in the face of hardships and hardships, this "skill", this spirit of "undefeated" is worth learning. In the face of the huge pressure and bad luck of the outside world, the "tough guy" characters in the work are still strong and unyielding, brave and forward, and even regard death as a homecoming, although they have failed, they have maintained human dignity and courage, and have the demeanor of a victor. Life is not easy, let us live strong and dignified, never give up.
