This short work by Ernest Hemingway is an American classic. Read by several generations of high school students (I suspect in part due to its brevity), this book is an excellent example of a man vs. nature story line. I would say, though, that what the book was really about was not the sea or even the fish, but about the man himself: his strengths, weaknesses, and more than anything, his humanity.
It'll take an hour to an hour & a half to read. Just do it. :) It's really a great (and not depressing) book about the human condition.
