The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works.
Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal — a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize with this novel. Before this novel gets banned because it's about that tiny country that you-know-who wants to strangle and starve all its men, women and children, you should make the effort of reading it - it's what's called a "page-turner".
Read it many, many years ago when I was in my teens, it was a really good story that kept me interested cover to cover (if memory serves me right I finished it in one sitting)
Read it in high school. I now know why we were assigned to read it.
