THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

Ernest Hemingway's " The Old man and the sea " received Nobel Prize in the year 1954. Its story was set in the Gulf stream of the coast of Havana. It tells the story of an old man , a young boy and a giant fish. The craft is excellent for a one time reading; in which he depicts the real nature , love,passion and intimacy of a fisherman to his friends, ocean, the fishes and also to his work. Though he is aged , his will power is so strong that he never accepts defeat. Hemingway was very fond of fishing and hence he beautifully explains minute aspects of a catch. I read it some years back, then it thrilled me. Now, the second reading not satisfies.
