Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea!

One of my favorite novels is Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. The protagonist, Santiago, is a memorable character. His yearning for a big catch and his imaginative conversations with the fish he captures demonstrate Hemingway's creativity. Like Robinson Crusoe and Moby Dick, The Old Man and the Sea is also a symbolic novel about human existence. In the end, when Santiago returns to shore with his prized catch, all that remains is the fish's skeleton. 

We, as humans, often pursue materialistic aspirations throughout our lives, but in the end, like Santiago, we may find that all we have left is just a skeleton.

Recently, I watched the TV film version of the novel featuring Anthony Quinn as Santiago. I enjoyed the film. Anthony Quinn is one of my favorite actors. Watching the movie adaptation of one of my favorite novels featuring one of my favorite actors was a great and joyful experience.

A great novel doesn't depend on the number of pages it's written with. The Old Man and the Sea is a perfect example of this. It's a short novel that won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize.
