Besides I believe it is a sin.</i><br><br>Mr. Hemingway insisted that there was no symbolism in this masterpiece of a work he created, that the old man is an old man, that the sea is a sea and that the big fish is... well... a big fish. But sorry Mr. Hemingway but I can't help but draw from the plethora of symbols in this book! <br><br>In just 117 pages, the book which relies on plain but evocative storytelling and grand imagery blew me away. It is incredible how much one can take from a book so short and so simple! A great book, I would definitely reread over and over again! <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_273361181" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_273361181"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_273361181" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_273361181" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_273361181"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/raulbimenyimana" target="_top">raulbimenyimana</a> | Oct 13, 2024 | <a href="/review/273361181"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_269407324" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/4933" data-workid="4933" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0684801221.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0684801221.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0684801221.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>A brief book, even for Hemingway, this is directly a metaphor for the struggle and loneliness of life. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_269407324" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_269407324"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_269407324" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_269407324" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_269407324"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/KallieGrace" target="_top">KallieGrace</a> | Aug 9, 2024 | <a href="/review/269407324"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class='reviewnav'><div class="right"><strong><a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,3,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','4933','',false, null, 'profile');return false;">date<span class="sortArrow"> ▼</span></a></strong> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,2,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','4933','',false, null, 'profile'); return false;">votes</a></div>Showing 1-5 of 449 (<a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',5,0,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','4933','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">next</a> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,0,3,'wp_reviews',10000,'','4933','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">show all</a>)</div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="workpagesort_53" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer" style="float: right;"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></span></div> <a name="publishedreviews"></a><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'mediareviews', 'u_b5b1873b', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Published reviews</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_b5b1873b" style="display:block;"><div id="mediareviews_container"><div id="mediareviews"><table class="sa_tools" id="u_6bea5f11_link"><tr><td id="left">2 reviews</td><td id="center"><a href="#" onclick="LibraryThing.mediareviews.edit({'workid':'4933'});return false;">add a review</a></td><td id="right"> thingScore <a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews"><span class="mre_score mre_score_good">100</span></a></td></tr></table><div class="bookReview" mr_id="578" style="font-size:12px;"><span style="float: right; margin: 5px 0px 5px 6px;"><span id="rate-u_069ebddf" title="9.0 Stars" aria-title="9.0 Stars" class="rating rating-style-2 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><img class="thumb_rating" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/mr-uu.gif" /></span></span><div id="brtext_578" class="commentText">The Old Man and the Sea has almost none of the old Hemingway truculence, the hard-guy sentimentality that sometimes gives even his most devoted admirers twinges of discomfort.

Fiction. Literature. HTML:<p>The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, <i>The Old Man and the Sea</i> has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic.</p>.</div></div><div id="workpagesort_25" class="quickedit light"><div class="nav"><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'libdesc', 'u_139a1dab', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Library descriptions</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_139a1dab" style="display:block;"><p>No library descriptions found.</p></div></div><div id="workpagesort_70" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Common_Knowledge#LibraryThing_members.27_description" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></div><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'ckdesc', 'u_31cab728', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>LibraryThing members' description</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_31cab728" style="display:block;"> <div class="workSection"> <table class="fwikiContainerTable ch2"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="fwikiLabel">Book description</td> <td><table class="fwikiGroup"><tr><td class='fwikiField' id='u_fa05b3e0' itemType='1' itemNum='4933' fieldType='14' name='u_fa05b3e0' allowmultiple='0' hasHistory = '1' fieldName = 'description' uitype = '3' ltlang='eng' hint = 'This is a general description.

Nella disperata caccia a un enorme pesce spada dei Caraibi. nella lotta quasi a mani nude contro gli squali che un pezzo alla volta gli strappano la preda, lasciandogli solo il simbolo della vittoria e della maledizione finalmente sconfitta. Santiago stabilisce, forse per la prima volta, una vera fratellanza con le forze incontenibili della natura. E, soprattutto, trova dentro di sé il segno e la presenza del proprio coraggio, la giustificazione di tutta una vita.<br>(piopas)</div><img style="float:left;" src='https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif' height='12px' width='1px' alt=''></div></div> </td><td class='fwikiItemControls'></td></td></tr></table></td> </tr> </table></div> <a name="haiku"></a> <div class="workSection"> <table class="fwikiContainerTable ch2"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="fwikiLabel">Haiku summary</td> <td><table class="fwikiGroup"><tr><td class='fwikiField' id='u_73a7d826' itemType='1' itemNum='4933' fieldType='57' name='u_73a7d826' allowmultiple='1' hasHistory = '1' fieldName = 'haikusummary' uitype = '3' ltlang='eng' hint = 'Add a summary or other appreciation in haiku form (17 syllables; 5/7/5); include your member name in parentheses.' ><div class='fwikiItem divhaikusummary'><div class='fwikiItemText fwikiItemTextLong fwikiItemTextUnknownUser'><div class="fwikiAtomicValue" style="min-height:12px;" >Old man goes fishing<br>Out for many days and nights<br>Returns with nothing<br><br>(hiddenpunk)</div><img style="float:left;" src='https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif' height='12px' width='1px' alt=''></div></div> </td><td class='fwikiItemControls'></td></td></tr></table></td> </tr> </table></div> </div></div> </td> <td class="right"> <div class="greenbox ltauthor"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/badge-legacy-clipped.gif" width="60" height="57" class="logo"><div class="inside"><h2 class="first">Legacy Library: <nobr>Ernest Hemingway</nobr></h2> <p>Ernest Hemingway has a Legacy Library.
