The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway

It is the story of an aging and unlucky Cuban fisherman, and his ordeal when he ventures into the Gulf Stream and engages in a pitched battle with a giant marlin. In this novel, Hemingway created, in a striking modernist style, the values of courage and daring in the face of defeat and surrender, and the emergence of victory and faith from the clutches of loss and loss.
