Features: When the wife and daughter of American young writer Scripps ONeill leave, he leaves in a snowstorm to find work. In a small restaurant, he meets Diana, a middle-aged British waitress who loves literature, and they fall for each other at first sight, getting married quickly. As a result, he becomes a pieceworker at the city's water pump factory. Unbeknownst to him, the new waitress who replaces Diana in the small restaurant, Mandy, is full of literary anecdotes and eloquent, captivating Scripps. Yoga Johnson, a worker at the same factory as Scripps, had a "fling" in Paris during World War I but ended up being tricked by a "fake lover" and never wanted to find a woman again. However, when a naked Native American woman and was chased out, Yoga, wandering aimlessly on the street, follows her, takes off his clothes one by one, and walks into the night together. At the transition of winter and spring, a series of strange events occur in the northern mountain city of Michigan, forming the core plot of Hemingway's early novella "The Spring Tide," which is full of life.

The Old Man and the Sea tells the story of an old fisherman's struggle with a big fish, with profound themes that won Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature. It has been widely welcomed in China. This time, the translator has revised the translation and included it in the Hemingway Collection.
