Resumen: |
The Old Man and the Sea is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life. For eighty-four days, Santiago, an aged Cuban fisherman, has set out to sea and returned empty-handed. Confident that his unproductive streak will soon come to an end, Santiago resolves to sail out farther than usual the following day.
On the eighty-fifth day, he sails his skiff far beyond the island's shallow coastal waters and ventures into the Gulf Stream where a magnificent marlin takes the bait that Santiago has placed one hundred fathoms deep in the waters. For two days and two nights, Santiago battles with the elements above and beneath the sea's surface. On the third day the fish tires, and Santiago, sleep-deprived, aching, and nearly delirious, manages to pull the marlin in close enough to kill it with his harpoon. Saddened by the death of his foe, but reinvigorated by his success, Santiago begins the voyage home with the marlin tied to the flank of his skiff. But soon, predators more deadly than Man latch on to the marlin's scent, and Santiago must use all his cunning and strength to battle the schools of sharks that crave his prize. |
