RE: Книжковий хробачок, огляд 39: Ну просто нереальна штука - Little bookworm, review 39: Just an increadible thing
Help me rebuild my library...
In this digital world I thought printed books were only for old men so I started shredding them 😨
Now I have changed my mind and I want to stick the pieces back together.
Can you identify which book this is from?

(Title & author to win)
To keep up with this pace, I need to learn English 🤔 (I woke up late I think)
I've got it 🙂
I initially thought it was Robinson Crusoe but it's not.
I've never read it but I'm pleased that my determination and perseverance has been rewarded.
I'm heading out for lunch now - catch you later 🙋♂️
Oh man, you really should have given the answer before heading to lunch.
Title: The Old Man and The Sea
Author: Ernest Hemingway
This time, and even if I didn't win, I can say with satisfaction that I found the complete page.
I had a hard time searching, I thought it wasn't The old man and the sea, so I was looking for a way to find what the page was...
I wrote a list of words that can be seen there: "Poison", "agua", "hiplash", "loved", "horny", and a very strange one: that I couldn't see well, but I already saw what it is:
"loggerheads."
What occurred to me was to look for a PDF and search for the words and voila, I found at least the exact page, and there is no doubt that yes, it is the novel "The Old Man and the Sea." by Ernest Hemingway.
I was saying that this time I feel satisfied because I know it is the correct answer even if I didn't discover it in time:
Es la pagina 12, 13 y 14 en este doc: https://arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/oldmansea.pdf
Excellent work. I tried looking for British authors and searched a few of my favorites. Of course, this didn't look like Rowling's work. Then I tried to look up American authors, including my favorite, Harper Lee. For a second, I thought it might be Harper, considering the H hint, but her writing is more philosophical, and this picture seemed more narrative in style.
I'm surprised I've never heard about Hemingway. I looked him up, and he resembles George R. R. Martin with a smaller beard. 🤣
Wow Hemingway is very famous... It's strange that you haven't heard him mentioned before.
But the novel The Old Man and the Sea is short, if you want to read it😁
I'll definitely give it a try
Bonus vote for good detective work and a good explanation of how you found it.
Oh wow, thank you so much!
What I saw is that these tests allow us to develop detective work and that is great!
Thanks again, I'll keep an eye out for the next ones.🤗🌺
Congratulation👌
Didn’t need to. It’s not about the prizes for me. I wanted to give enough so that sc01 knew that I knew the answer but not so much to ruin it for everybody else.
Well done on getting it though 👍🏼
Thank you for holding off on the answer.
If I'd have known somebody else would solve it 42 minutes later...
It was fun to share it with my in-laws though. Tormenting them with clues like "the old man should be able to work it out". Them thinking I'm being rude again.
It's a shame they're getting solved so quickly - I expected this one to take longer.

Great to see such thoughtfulness and consideration for others. Thanks for keeping the fun alive for everyone 👍🏼
Congratulations, you figured it out, like the-gorilla said :-)
Thank you! 😊 It was a fun challenge but it was quite an easy one.
Yes friend! It would be great and very important if you explain how you found it? 😊
Google books it is! 😊
Oh yes, I already saw how to do the search there, great, thank you :D
My Pleasure! 👍
Congratulations on being the first to post the correct book title and author.
Did you know the book, or did you manage to find it by doing an image lookup on the web?
Thanks! Image lookup wasn’t an option since it was a shredded piece, but I found it through Google Books in just 2 minutes. Anything documented on Google is easy to find if you know how. The hashtag challenge was much more difficult and really creative.
I don't know if it will be right, but I tried a little 🫣

Greetings sir,
Could you give a hint whether the title or author's name contains H alphabet?
Yes
Thank you very much sir. This is my first guess,,
Title : House of Leaves
Author : Mark Z. Danielewski
Close, but no 🚬
😅
No es es en sí un libro es como una biografía:
El rey del petróleo: La vida secreta de Marc Rich
If I'm correct, he begins where the-mrs-gorilla is from.
Is Mrs-Gorilla from Cuba?
That would also have been a very good clue since Ernest Hemingway spent different times in Cuba, from there he was inspired to write the Old Man and the Sea... :-)
This was when I thought it was Robinson Crusoe. Your line of enquiry made me reconsider. Long weekend?
Unless this is some crazy start to round 3?
Does Mrs-gorilla have a favorite football club in London?
Ha ha. No. She's a Hull fan 🙂
What's Mr-Gorilla's first language?
Je parle Anglais
What's Mrs-Gorilla's first language?
Sie Spricht auch English.
I’m starting to suspect that he didn’t set sail from Hull.
Where is Hull?
Have you been drinking?
Only on Thursday's.
My eyes need to look bigger. 👁️👁️ I'll keep looking and see a winner. #flashquiz competition is really fun. (• , •)
Well, I think
Title:- The Old Man and the Sea
Author :- Ernest Hemingway
A nice one 😊
Paulo Coelho: Eleven Minutes
Greetings Sir,
I guess the book is Agua Agüita/Water, little water by Jorge Tetl Argueta. Just a guess😃
I think you are referring to a passage from Shakespeare's play. Maybe "Hamlet" or "Henry V."
