The Old Man And The Sea

Rating:
Summary: A great short story for anyone to read
Review: Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest writers of all time, and Old Man and the Sea is one of his greatest works. The story is simple and compelling, as all of his greatest works are, but this one stands out because anybody can see themselves in either the old man, the boy, or even the fish. Once you pick this book up and start reading, the story will envelope you and make it hard to put down. This story is great for students of any age because it is simple enough for young readers and complex and multi-faceted enough for advanced readers. It can be read for a great story about a man in an effort to catch a fish, almost as a child's book, but can be read as a battle of man vs. nature, or even as far as a struggle within a man's own soul. Whatever is read into this story, it is a great work of literature at all of these levels. It will not disappoint any student, teacher, or recreational reader. The stories about what this book means to the world are far longer than the book itself.
