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.

评分自我今年二月份在加州度过的那段难以忘怀的日子,距离今天已经整整四个月了。在大洋的两端,中国的东部沿海地区热火朝天地在朋友圈分享久违的雪景时,同纬度的美西海岸恰阳光明媚,碧空如洗。 当我感叹几乎每天准点报时的朝阳时,有趣的是,寄宿家庭的女主人却对日复一日的晴...
评分记得当年看肖申克的救赎时,印象最深的,是摩根弗里曼在监狱的楼上喝着啤酒,夕阳笼罩在他的周围,他啜了口酒说,“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” 昨日看完愤怒的葡萄,就突然想起了这句话。 在梦里画的最大的饼,是加利福...
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...
评分cathartic
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Bravo! Totally worth the Nobel!!
评分中学就知道胡佛屋,但要走进去,一窥其中的景象,还要仰仗这本作品。
评分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.
