Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway's magnificent fable is the tale of an old man, a young boy and a giant fish. This story of heroic endeavour won Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature. It stands as a unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of man’s challenge to the elements. (20040927)

##2011.9不知为什么让我想起了to build a fire,同样是一个人独自面对自然,只是结局不同。小说阅读过程不如小说主题吸引我。小男孩是我眼中全书唯一的脆弱与温情,忘不了他看到老人双手血痕后停不了的哭泣。人和鱼的较量是人和一切困难的寓言,那些经历过刻骨铭心的挣扎的人,读来会有更深的感触.2013.1-和马林鱼的较量是属于老人智慧和耐心的胜利,和鲨鱼的搏斗则是老人不屈的尊严的胜利。我们谁都要独自面对挑战,坚持到底的那份勇气和决心却不是每个人都有幸拥有,而面对注定失败的挑战依然顽抗到底的则都是悲壮的英雄。
