\u201eLuar\u0103 tot echipamentul din barc\u0103. B\u0103tr\u00e2nul c\u0103ra catargul pe um\u0103r, iar pu\u015ftiul ducea cutia din lemn, cu mosoarele de sfoar\u0103 cafenie str\u00e2ns \u00eempletit\u0103, cangea \u015fi harponul, cu tot cu \u0163epu\u015f\u0103. Cutia cu momeala era dedesubt, la pupa b\u0103rcii, laolalt\u0103 cu ciomagul pe care \u00eel folosea b\u0103tr\u00e2nul ca s\u0103 potoleasc\u0103 pe\u015ftii mai mari atunci c\u00e2nd \u00eei tr\u0103gea la bord. Nimeni nu s-ar fi g\u00e2ndit s\u0103-l fure tocmai pe el, dar era mai bine s\u0103 ia cu el acas\u0103 vela \u015fi mosoarele grele de sfoar\u0103, pentru c\u0103 roua le f\u0103cea r\u0103u \u015fi, cu toate c\u0103 era convins c\u0103 nimeni de prin partea locului nu le-ar fi furat, b\u0103tr\u00e2nul socotea c\u0103 un harpon \u015fi o cange l\u0103sate \u00eentr-o barc\u0103 erau totu\u015fi ni\u015fte ispite inutile.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe old man carried the mast on his shoulder and the boy carried the wooden boat with the coiled, hard- braided brown lines, the gaff and the harpoon with its shaft. The box with the baits was under the stem of the skiff along with the club that was used to subdue the big fish when they were brought alongside. No one would steal from the old man but it was better to take the sail and the heavy lines home as the dew was bad for them and, though he was quite sure no local people would steal from him, the old man thought that a gaff and a harpoon were needless temptations to leave in a boat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Sigur a\u021bi citit-o c\u00e2ndva, dar…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

…poate la fel ca mine, afla\u0163i mereu c\u00e2te ceva nou despre om sau cartea lui. De pild\u0103, am citit recent fragmente din \u201cOn The Blue Water: A Gulf Stream Letter\u201d \u2013 eseul publicat de Hemingway \u00een aprilie 1936 \u00een revista Esquire. \u00cen mai pu\u021bin de 200 de cuvinte, el descrie povestea (adev\u0103rat\u0103) a unui b\u0103tr\u00e2n pescar cubanez a c\u0103rui barc\u0103 a fost remorcat\u0103 \u00een larg de un marlin uria\u0219, devorat \u00een final de o hait\u0103 de rechini-taur. Pescarul, descoperit dup\u0103 dou\u0103 zile \u0219i dou\u0103 nop\u021bi la vreo \u0219aizeci de mile de coast\u0103, aproape \u00ee\u0219i pierduse min\u021bile de sup\u0103rare c\u0103 nu a reu\u0219it s\u0103 captureze \u0219i s\u0103 v\u00e2nd\u0103 pe\u015ftele gigantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ini\u021bial, a vrut s\u0103 scrie B\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u0219i marea<\/em> imediat, \u00een vara lui 1936, dar apoi s-a r\u0103zg\u00e2ndit, d\u00e2ndu-\u0219i seama c\u0103 nu \u0219tie mare lucru despre pescari solitari, despre dramatismul luptei lor pentru supravie\u021buire \u0219i, mai ales, despre interac\u021biunea lor cu marea \u0219i cu vie\u021buitoarele pe care le v\u00e2neaz\u0103. \u00cen 1942 s-a mutat \u00een Cuba \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021be cu s\u00e2rguin\u021b\u0103. A\u0219a s-au n\u0103scut The Old Man and The Sea<\/em> \u00een 1952 \u0219i, succesiv, recunoa\u0219terea valorii universale: \u00een 1953 Pulitzer \u0219i Nobel \u00een 1954.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00centr-o scrisoare din 13 septembrie 1952, Hemingway \u00eei spunea prietenului s\u0103u Bernard Berenson: \u201cThere isn\u2019t any symbolism: the old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The sharks are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De data aceasta prefer s\u0103 nu \u00eel ascult \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103 identific c\u00e2teva simboluri (some \u201cshit\u201d ca s\u0103 repet duioasa vorb\u0103 a Maestrului):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
