In a small restaurant he met the middle-aged waitress Diana who loves literature. They loved each other and quickly got married. So he found a job in the water pump factory. Unexpectedly, the small restaurant waitress Mandy who replaced Diane knew a lot about literature, and captured the hearts of the Sklips. Yogi Johnson, Sklips's colleague in the factory once had a period of love in Paris when he attended the First World War, but he was cheated, so he never wants to find a woman. However, an Indian woman in nature's garb broke into a small restaurant and was pushed out. Yogi followed her and took her clothes off and walked with her in the night...... A series of wonders in Michigan, North Mountain, constitute the core of the plot of Hemingway's early novel Torrents of Spring which is full of wit and humor. The Old Man and the Sea tells the struggling story of the old fisherman and the fish with a profound theme and won Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize for literature. It is widely welcomed already in our country.)
