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.
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.
首先,感谢韩寒。 没有韩少的《1988》,我可能永远不知道这本书的存在,丁丁哥哥《愤怒的葡萄》。 哦,既然说到了,那就谈一会吧。 “他们想知道我哥哥都学了些什么,大学和技校有什么区别。我哥哥只拿出了两本书,一本《八月之光》 ,一本《愤怒的葡萄》,说,我的书单都有...

评分他们原本有家有土地,生活虽然不是事事如意,也不会年年丰收,但他们至少是快乐团圆的,男人在外耕地,女人在家洗衣做饭,简单而美满。但,生活总是充满意外。土地被征收,冰冷而庞大的机器推毁了他们的房屋,走吧,只能离开这里了,离开这片他们世世代代生活过的土地,...
评分这部小说真是充满了太多的不幸和太多的悲哀,以至于我读完后还久久不能释怀。 美国的农民原来也有这样的血泪史,我想这是很多人都不知道的,这也给我留下了很深的印象。 美国三、四年代的经济恐慌对农民来说真是一场巨大的灾难。大量农民失去了赖以生存的土地而被迫...
评分. 拖拉机赶走了土地上的农民,工业化的农业生产虽然促进了农产品的产量和质量,但是农民们却因为劳动力的贬值陷入极端的贫困当中。原本拥有土地、财产的原住农民不得不变卖世代耕作的土地,或者抛下自己的土地前往遥远的加利福尼亚谋生。但在路途上,大批的农民却因贫穷...
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
评分无产阶级革命边缘的美国……文笔很好,但是作者当年对人民团结起来就是力量一些过于美好的幻想,就像今天某些人对自由民主必然就是正途的幻想一样,有些幼稚了
评分很难读,和中文一起读的
评分这么好的一家,多悲伤的故事
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.
