Hey, I’ve been looking at how stories often mirror real resilience, like a rusted part that still keeps moving. Have you ever come across a book that captures that vibe?
It’s almost poetic how a battered, rusted engine can still keep going, and that idea is at the heart of “The Old Man and the Sea.” The old man’s relentless fight against the marlin, despite his aching body and age, feels like a quiet, stubborn resilience that never fully rusts away. If you’re into that kind of steady, gritty perseverance, it’s a short but unforgettable read.
