Comment.
Henry.
A (retired) friend
loaned me his copy of this book that he had as a text book in his high school
days. I enjoyed reading this
classic. The struggle of the old
fisherman to do one more fishing excursion (by himself) to catch the really big
fish makes for a pleasant reading experience.
The fact that he lost the fish to predators on his way back to shore
does not take away from his accomplishment as a fisherman. His relationship with “the boy” adds a meaningful
cross-generational element to the novel.
Hemingway is an author that I have added to my book-search hobby.
