The story is about Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman that heads out to the waters, farther then normal, to try and catch something after 84 days of nothing. Using very old methods, the “old man” hooks into an enormous marlin, but even he doesn’t realize how big it is until later. His fight seems to first end in triumph, but it soon turns to what the old man wishes was just a dream.

"de 6/10 para 7/10 Geralmente eu não gosto tanto de Hemningway, tentei ler outras histórias suas mas é isso, o velhor e o mar é o seu ápice, adoro o simbolismo, a sua poesia, é um deleite ler esse livro, um dos mais bem escritos da língua inglesa, uma pena o autor ter sofrido tanto na vida real e ter terminado daquele jeito."

It was the last major work of fiction written by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. I read this book while still quite young I was taken away into the scene by this wonderful story writer. There is a different version of it floating around that is not so kind as this great write. Thanks Mr Hemingway.
