English Summary

The Old Man and the Sea is the tale of an epic battle between an old, prepared angler and the best catch of his life. For 84 days, Santiago, a matured Cuban angler, has embarked to the ocean and returned with basically nothing. So conspicuously appalling is he that the watchmen of his young, serious follower and friend, Manolin, have driven the child away from the old individual to fish in away from the elderly person to fish in a more prosperous boat. In any case, the kid keeps on focusing on the elderly person upon his return every evening. He helps the elderly person carry his stuff to his flimsy cottage, gets nourishment for him, and examines the most recent advancements in American baseball, particularly the preliminaries of the elderly person's saint, Joe DiMaggio. Santiago is sure that his inefficient streak will before long reach a conclusion, and he sets out to cruise out farther than common the next day.

On the eighty-fifth day of his unfortunate streak, Santiago does as guaranteed, cruising his dinghy a long way past the island's shallow beachfront waters and wandering into the Gulf Stream. He readies his lines and drops them. Around early afternoon, a hotshot, which he knows is a marlin, takes the lure that Santiago has set 100 comprehends somewhere down in the waters. The elderly person expertly snares the fish, however, he can't pull it in. All things considered, the fish starts to pull the boat.

Unfit to tie the line quickly to the boat for dread the fish would snap a tight line, the elderly person bears the strain of the line with his shoulders, back, and hands, prepared to give slack should the marlin make a run. The fish gets the boat all as the day progressed, as the night progressed, as the day progressed, and as the night progressed. It swims reliably northwest until at last it tires and swims east with the current. The whole time, Santiago bears consistent torment from the fishing line. At whatever point the fish thrusts, jumps, or makes a scramble for an opportunity, the rope cuts Santiago seriously. Albeit injured and fatigued, the elderly person feels profound compassion and appreciation for the marlin, his sibling in anguish, strength, and resolve.

On the third day the fish tires, and Santiago, anxious, harming, and practically garbled, figures out how to pull the marlin in close to the point of killing it with a spear push. Dead close to the boat, the marlin is the biggest Santiago has at any point seen. He lashes it to his boat, raises the little pole, and heads out for home. While Santiago is invigorated by the worth that the marlin will bring to the market, he is more stressed that people who will eat the fish are shameful of its significance.

As Santiago sails on with the fish, the marlin's blood leaves a way in the water and attracts sharks. The first to assault is an extraordinary mako shark, which Santiago figures out how to kill with the spear. In the battle, the elderly person loses the spear and lengths of significant rope, which leaves him defenseless against other shark assaults. The elderly person wards off the progressive horrendous hunters decently well, wounding at them with a rough lance he makes by lashing a blade to a paddle, and in any event, clubbing them with the boat's turner. Despite the fact that he kills a few sharks, increasingly more show up, and when it sunsets, Santiago's proceeded with the battle against the foragers is pointless. They gobble up the marlin's valuable meat, leaving just skeleton, head, and tail. Santiago chides himself for going "out excessively far," and for forfeiting his extraordinary and commendable adversary. He gets back before sunrise, staggers back to his shack, and rests profoundly.

The following morning, a horde of astonished anglers assembles around the skeletal body of the fish, which is as yet lashed to the boat. Remaining unaware of the elderly person's battle, travelers at a close-by bistro notice the remaining parts of the monster marlin and misstep it for a shark. Manolin, who has been really anxious over the elderly person's nonattendance, is moved to tears when he tracks down Santiago protected in his bed The kid brings the elderly person some espresso and the day-by-day papers with the baseball scores and watches him rest. At the point when the elderly person wakes, the two consent to fish as accomplices again. The elderly person gets back to rest and dreams his standard long for lions at play on the seashores of Africa
