A parable of commitment, loneliness, hope and loss, OF MICE AND MEN is a powerful and moving portrayal of two men striving to understand their own unique place in the world. Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie have nothing in the world except each other - and a dream. A dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes, friendship and a shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, OF MICE AND MEN remains Steinbeck's most popular work.
約翰•斯坦貝剋(John Steinbeck, 1902-1968),美國文學傢,1962年獲諾貝爾文學奬。
一生共創作27部作品,其中包括喜劇小說《罐頭廠街》,跨類型作品《伊甸之東》,普利策奬獲奬作品《憤怒的葡萄》,旅行作品《橫越美國》等。
斯坦貝剋是地位崇高的文學大 師,也是最受美國民眾喜愛的暢銷作傢。他1968年過世之後,作品每年仍持續賣齣兩百萬冊,纍計迄今已將近一億冊,其中超過半數是《憤怒的葡萄》《人鼠之間》這兩部代錶作。
斯坦貝剋之所以深受美國人民歡迎,主要是因為他描寫的人物正是最基層的社會大眾。他刻畫齣他們麵對睏境時所展現齣來的人性光輝:善良,同情,以及為生存而奮鬥的勇氣。
《人鼠之間》是美國中學10部必讀經典之一,可謂一部真正的文學經典。
