Hemingway's Barrel

Ancient Greek sailors used to say that "what land divides, the sea unites." This small collection of compelling fishermen's tails and stories will guide you through the waves and shores of various destinations around our globe to fill you with the emotions of those who have sailed across the oceans in search of unknown adventures. A feeling of love, hate, fear, belonging and abandonment will accompany you through the pages of these six extracts to make you reflect on the various values that forge our human nature. Whether vagabonds of the sea with no specific destination or goal in mind, or sedentary figures of the mainland areas, we all ultimately must inevitably face the course of our own destiny and the consequences of our decisions. So get ready to set sail around the world and to enjoy the calmness of the rustling wind, the saltiness of the whitest shores and the termoil of the most unexpected events.
