1老人与海
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works.Told in language of great simplicity and power,it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman,down on his luck,and his supreme ordeal——a relentless,agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.Here Hemingway recasts,in strikingly contemporary style,the classic thene of courage in the face of defeat,of personal triumph won from los.Written in 1952,this hugely successfully novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a huge part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

After reading "A tale of two cities"
"A tale of two cities" is one of Dickens's most important representative works.The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social clAsS is dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed clAsSes.The novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on,which displayed people's great strength.
The style "A tale of two cities" is solemnity and melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the humor of the early works.
