The Grapes of Wrath Hardcover - 1993

by John Steinbeck; Introduction by Brad Leithauser


About this book

John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath stands as a pivotal piece of American literature. The story follows the Joad family (and thousands of others) as they are driven from the Oklahoma farm where they are sharecroppers during the Great Depression. The drought, economic hardship, and changes in financial and agricultural industries send them searching for dignity and honest work in the bountiful state of California.

The novel earned Steinbeck the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1940, and inspired the classic film of the same name the same year. The film starred Henry Fonda as Tom Joad, and Steinbeck's words and ideas shine through that medium. In 1962, Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for the body of his work, and The Grapes of Wrath stands as his most recognized and esteemed book.

Description:
Everyman's Library, 1993. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Hardcover, No Dust Jacket. Very Good Condition. A Clean And Solid Book. The Grapes Of Wrath (Everyman's Library) Although It Follows The Movement Of Thousands Of Men And Women And The Transformation Of An Entire Nation, "The Grapes Of Wrath" Is Also 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. Out Of Their Trials And Their Repeated Collisons Against The Hard Realities Of An America Divided Into Haves And Have-Nots, Steinbeck Created A Drama That Is Intensely Human Yet Majestic In Its Scale And Moral Vision, Elemental Yet Plainspoken, Tragic But Ultimately Stirring In Its Insistence On Human Dignity.
