《老人与海》是海明威最具代表性的作品之一,是世界上最为著名的中篇小说之一,曾获普利策奖。本书主要讲述了一位老人只身到遥远的海域捕鱼的故事。在连续八十四天没捕到一条鱼而被人嘲笑的情况下,老人终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼,但这条鱼实在是太大了,竟然在海上拖着老人的小渔船游逃了三天,最终筋疲力尽,才被老人杀死并绑在了渔船的一边。可惜在归程中,老人不断遭到鲨鱼的袭击,到岸时这条大马林鱼仅剩下鱼头、鱼尾和一条白花花的脊骨。尽管如此,老人却从未服输。"一个人可以被消灭,但不能被打败。"这是主人公圣地亚哥的生活信念,也是《老人与海》中作者要表明的思想。通过圣地亚哥的形象,作者热情地赞颂了人类面对艰难困苦时所显示的坚不可摧的精神力量。孩子准备和老人再度出海,他要学会老人的一切"本领",这象征着人类这种"打不败"的精神将代代相传。
