Title: Hemingway s "Tragic Adventure": Angling for Peace in the Natural Landscape of the Fisherman
Author/Creator: Steven Florczyk
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.68(2-3), pp.156-165
Annotation: Treats fishing in The Old Man and the Sea, Islands in the Stream, and Big Two-Hearted River, arguing that man s interdependent relationship with the natural world, as portrayed through these three fishermen, serves as a grounding force against the encroaching dangers of the modern world. Concludes that only by establishing a connection with nature and nurturing the natural order can Hemingway s protagonists find strength and fulfillment as they struggle against great loss.
