My favorite book is «The Old Man and the Sea» by Ernest Hemingway.
This story is one of the well-known works of the writer. The author depicts the
characters of the old man and the boy and their relations very vividly and
skillfully. Santiago, the old man, was one of the writer’s beloved characters. The
old man was a born fisherman, but he was not a butcher and fished only for a
living. He was very lonely. He had a devoted friend — the boy, Manolin. The
boy loved the old man for his kind heart, his devotion to the sea. Manolin was
like a son to Santiago. He took care of the old man’s food and his belongings.
The old man was glad to pass his experience to the boy. He looked forward to
going to the sea together with the boy. All Santiago’s life had been in
preparation for the battle with big fish. He knew that he had been born for this
and it was time to prove it. A strong man at last had met a strong fish. The battle
was a difficult one and full of danger. Though the sharks had eaten the fish and
nothing had left but the backbone, the old man had morally won the battle.
Santiago’s words «man can be destroyed but not defeated» are the main idea of
this story. «The Old Man and the Sea» is a masterpiece for its imaginative
language and the description of nature
