 The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

Synopsis

After 84 days with no catch, Cuban fisherman Santiago is sure that his luck is about to change. The other fishers and his assistant’s mother don’t agree and on day 85, Santiago sets out without his assistant, Manolin. Sure enough, he snags a Marlin, but without Manolin, finds it impossible to land. The battle is on, and Santiago fights for days in this tense, epic tale of Man vs. Nature.
