John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. (February 27, 1902 – December 20, 1968) was an American author. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception". He has been called "a giant of American letters", and many of his works are considered classics of Western literature.
First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.
This Penguin Classics edition contains an introduction and notes by Steinbeck scholar Robert Demott.
This is one of the best books I have read in 2017. I have heard of Grapes of Wrath, book and movie for ages but I never read it until recently. I remember I have read Thinking Fast and Slowin which there is a discussion of whether it is true that "People ge...
评分只是说我像耶稣一样疲惫了,我像他一样想迷糊论文,我像他一样走到荒野里去,连帐篷都没有。我夜里仰天看着星星,早晨我坐着看太阳出来,中午我从小山上望着起伏的原野:傍晚我就眼睁睁地看着太阳落下去。有时候,我像往常一样祷告。不过我不明白是向谁祷告,为什么祷告。我...

评分麦兜小朋友说: 我愿做一块扣肉,扣住你梅菜扣住你手; 我想说: 我愿做一颗愤怒的葡萄,哪怕很重,很沉。 花十几分钟读完这篇5000字的读书感,或许可以不用读几十万字的原文,或者,你会觉得你要每年读一遍这本书。 关于本文的说明 题图:John Steinbeck本尊 推荐的这本书是美...
You will get the sense about the world when you read the book. What did the poor do in the time of Great Depression? How they suffered homeless and hunger after a long day work. How hard to drive to California from the Oklahoma on the Road 66.
评分长长的公路 长长的绝望 今年读的最致郁小说 如葡萄般愤怒,如母爱搬坚固
评分audiobook. 我听见读[ræθ]的时候吓了一大跳,难道我这个词又读错了吗?刚查了原来英音是读[ɒ]的。听了真的很容易睡着好吗?尤其是开篇讲气候和玉米地的那段。写的真好,我还没看够呢,忽然就结尾了……
评分Whenever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Whenever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there... I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an'-I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build-why, I'll be there.
