Two nights *by G***V on 15 July 2016* THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA ………………………………………………………… Everyone talks about it. But no one does anything about it. This is the expression attributed to ‘weather’ It applies to ‘classics’ also. Everyone talks about it. No one reads it. ……………………………………………………. The book by the title of the article fits exactly into CLASSIC. I have heard about it. I have heard about the author. I have read one of his novels in Tamil. ……………………………………………………………………… Particularly after undergoing a surgery I am instantly connected to the novel. The hero of the novel has a name . But it finds mention only in a couple of instances. The old man has a friend ,a boy, too young to be called a friend. ……………………………………………….. The old man entertains a guilty feeling that he had not got anything worth in the last 84 days in the sea. He ventures alone. He talks to his own self. When he catches a marlin (big fish) he talks to the fish. And yet he is conscious that in sea he should not talk . ………………………………………………………. The marlin entangles in the hook of the old man. But does not reach his hands before taking the old man for ride. For long hours the marlin (of the size larger than the boat) draws the boat (skiff) into the deep sea at great speed. Two nights and a day.The old man is not tired. His spirits are intact. ………………………………………………………………. Ultimately when the old man is successful in killing it , he finds it extremely difficult to tow the big fish ashore. Trade winds are his polestars at night. The return with the marlin is greatly disturbed by the attacks by sharks. The sharks eat half the catch. With several survivals he reaches the shore to fall into the arms of the boy in a semiconscious state. ………………………………………………….. Like the hero I was also sanguine about the surgery. I had rosy feelings that a new lease of life is given to me. But the post operative care in ICU was the most difficult one. Convalesing at home is also difficult. ………………………………………………. Now from the OLD MAN AND THE SEA “I am not religious,” he said. “But I will say ten OUR FATHERS and ten HAIL MARYS that I should catch this fish, and I promise to make a pilgrimage to the Virgin of Cobre if I catch him. That is a promise.” Like the hero I prayed within my mind hundred times I was chanting my favourite slogan many times I vowed in my heart to undertake pilgrimage to many of my favourite Gods and goddesses Exactly like the hero. ………………………………………….. “I could not fail myself and die on a fish like this,” he said. “Now that I have him coming so beautifully, God help me endure. I’ll say a hundred OUR FATHERS and a hundred HAIL MARYS. B ut I cannot say them now.” Hemingway, Ernest. Old Man and the Sea (p. 56). Scribner. Kindle Edition. Hemingway said that it was "the best I can write ever for all of my life". I say that “this is the best I can READ for all my life.” ………………………………………………………………………………………….. Susan Beegel had very correctly pointed out that “ he tells the truth about human fear, guilt, betrayal, violence, cruelty, drunkenness, hunger, greed, apathy, ecstasy, tenderness, love and lust.” ………………………………………………………………….. To the extent that the title could have been THE OLD MAN AND THE MARLIN, the marlin plays most part of the novel than sea. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Old Man and the Sea: Ernest Hemingway - For Whom the Bell Tolls: Hemingway E. - The Sun Also Rises --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/64727312-the-old-man-and-the-sea](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/64727312-the-old-man-and-the-sea) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
