The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

289

You want to know someone? Heart, mind and soul? Ask him to tell you about when he was born. What you get won’t be the truth: it will be a story. And nothing is more telling than a story.

The Old Man And The Sea By Ernest Hemingway

833

In this tale of inward struggle and personal triumph, an old fisherman reaches within the depths of himself to fight the good fight and wrestle with the fish of his dreams alone on the ocean.
