Books like Le vieil homme et la mer by Ernest Hemingway


Si Manolin pouvait choisir, c'est avec Santiago qu'il irait pêcher... Le vieil homme ne lui a-t-il pas appris l'amour de la mer en l'emmenant en haute mer alors qu'il n'avait à peine cinq ans ? Ne lui a-t-il pas transmis tout son savoir sur les lignes, les appâts et les poissons ? Mais le vieux pêcheur est devenu sala : la chance l'a abandonné, et voici plusieurs semaines qu'il revient au port avec sa barque vide. Aussi les parents de Manolin envoient-ils leur fils sur un autre bateau. Cependant, tous les soirs, l'adolescent retrouve son vieil ami, ensemble ils préparent la pêche du lendemain, cette pêche qui lui accordera peut-être une dorade, un thon, voire même un requin ou un espadon argenté. Vient un jour où, en effet, le vieil homme rencontre son poisson. L'homme et l'animal vont alors s'affronter en un duel long et âpre qui va durer plusieurs jours et plusieurs nuits...
