Steinbeck, John 1902-1968
The Grapes of Wrath / John Steinbeck ; introduction and notes by Robert Demott - First edition - 464 pages ; 19 cm. - Penguin Classics . - Penguin Classics .
Al once naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and trascendental gospel, Steinbeck´s The Grapes of Wrath is perhaps the most American classics. Although is follows the movement of thousands of men and womwn and the transformation of an entire nation during the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s, The Grapes of Wrath is olso the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, who are driven off their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. From their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of this new America, Steinbeck creates a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, tragic but ultimately stirring in its insistence on human dignity.
Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
