This is the book I've just finished reading which I'd like to tell everybody to read because it was fantastic :)
It's only about 100 pages long, and critics have called it the best short story of all time- Hemingway got the Nobel Prize for Literature for it. It's about a very old fisherman who hasn't caught a fish for 85 days... And then something happens... The main theme is endurance, as he is incredibly strong and resilient and is wonderful :) my favourite line is when he talks to himself, urging himself to keep fighting, and he says 'a man can be destroyed, but not defeated'. It's really worth a read :)
