Hemingway entende muito bem o que ser um macho teimoso e assim escreve uma pequena e singela história muito convincente sobre um velho machão teimoso. Ajuda, claro, que seja sobre uma aventura pesqueira, a gosto do autor. Acaba assim, na mistura de sentimentalismo e busca da conquista bruta, no jogo de recusa e aceitação de ajuda, no impulso à aventura inconsequente e o processo enviesado de auto-justificação, retratando um tipo psicológico bastante presente no mundo, por vezes enervante, por vezes comovente. (  ) henrique_iwao | Aug 2, 2023 |  Very good! (  ) bookman09919 | Aug 2, 2023 | Stories about old people make my heart sad. ( ) blueskygreentrees | Jul 30, 2023 | I remember reading this years ago and knew the ending, knew the tragedy that befalls the old man and his triumph over the great fish. So much so that I dreaded the moment after the swordfish is lashed to the side of the boats and sharks begin to attack the ship. But I forgot uplifting sense one gets from the end of the book, the sense that despite his defeat by the sharks his reunion with the boy is what really matters. I just finished teaching _A Farewell to Arms_ and see that novel as Hemingway's treatise on the uselessness of struggle against the great powerful forces - war, nature, death - but the need to struggle regardless. At least the Old Man Santiago in TOMATS is granted a sort of redemption after losing his struggle with cruel nature.

35 livres cultes à lire au moins une fois dans sa vie Quels sont les romans qu'il faut avoir lu absolument ? Un livre culte qui transcende, fait réfléchir, frissonner, rire ou pleurer… La littérature est indéniablement créatrice d’émotions. Si vous êtes adeptes des classiques, ces titres devraient vous plaire. De temps en temps, il n'y a vraiment rien de mieux que de se poser devant un bon bouquin, et d'oublier un instant le monde réel. Mais si vous êtes une grosse lectrice ou un gros lecteur, et que vous avez épuisé le stock de votre bibliothèque personnelle, laissez-vous tenter par ces quelques classiques de la littérature.  “the drone of the pastiche parable, wordy and sentimental”  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. As a story, it is clean and straight. Those who admire craftsmanship will be right in calling it a masterpiece... it is a poem of action, praising a brave man, a magnificent fish and the sea, with perhaps a new underlying reverence for the Creator of such wonders. It is a tale superbly told and in the telling Ernest Hemingway uses all the craft his hard, disciplined trying over so many years has given him.  Within the sharp restrictions imposed by the very nature of his story Mr. Hemingway has written with sure skill. Here is the master technician once more at the top of his form, doing superbly what he can do better than anyone else.

"The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, 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. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature"-- No library descriptions found.
