The Old Man and the Sea is a novel(小说)by the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. He wrote it in 1951 when he was 52 years old and it is one of his best - known works. Three years later, Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature(诺贝尔文学奖)for it.
The book tells a story of an old fisherman called Santiago. After 84 days without catching a fish out in the sea, he is hungry, poor and alone. The other villagers keep away from him because they think he is so unlucky that he might make them unlucky too. However, he doesn't give up. Finally, his luck changes and he hooks(钓)a huge fish. With much difficulty, he brings it onto his boat. But his troubles are not over. Some sharks try to take away his catch. The situation is very dangerous. With the help of a boy named Manolin, he succeeds in fighting off the sharks. Unluckily, he loses the fish. He is still hopeful about his life and develops a good friendship with Manolin in the end.
I like the book because the story is amazing and meaningful. I like the character of Santiago because he shows a lot of courage and perseverance(毅力). The story makes me think a lot and its language is simple and beautiful. I will surely tell my friends about it. I think they will like it too.
