The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway - 1953

A poignant tale of human endurance, Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea follows Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with an epic marlin catch. After 84 days without a successful fishing trip, Santiago ventures far out into the Gulf Stream, hooking an enormous fish that tests his physical and spiritual limits. Through his solitary battle with the magnificent marlin and subsequent shark attacks, Santiago embodies resilience, dignity, and the unbreakable human spirit in the face of overwhelming challenges. This Pulitzer Prize-winning and Nobel Prize-contributing work explores themes of courage, isolation, and the profound connection between humans and nature. - The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway.
