Rate this book
"О мышах и людях". Крестный путь двух бродяг, колесящих по охваченному Великой депрессией американскому Югу и нашедших пристанище на богатой ферме, где их появлению суждено стать толчком для жестокой истории любви, убийства и страшной, безжалостной мести…
"Жемчужина". Очаровательная и поэтичная притча о загадочной жемчужине, перевернувшей жизнь веселых обитателей бедного квартала приморского городка, – история о человеческой жадности, настоящей дружбе и неизбывной любви к красоте.
"Квартал Тортилья-Флэт" и "Консервный ряд" – два произведения, посвященные колоритному миру трущоб калифорнийского города Монтерея 1930-х годов. Читателю предстоит знакомство с очень необычными персонажами, потомками индейцев, мексиканцев и американцев, – благородными плутами и самоотверженными хитрецами.

John Ernst Steinbeck was an American writer. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception". He has been called "a giant of American letters."
During his writing career, he authored 33 books, with one book coauthored alongside Edward F. Ricketts, including 16 novels, six non-fiction books, and two collections of short stories. He is widely known for the comic novels Tortilla Flat (1935) and Cannery Row (1945), the multi-generation epic East of Eden (1952), and the novellas The Red Pony (1933) and Of Mice and Men (1937). The Pulitzer Prize–winning The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is considered Steinbeck's masterpiece and part of the American literary canon. By the 75th anniversary of its publishing date, it had sold 14 million copies.
Most of Steinbeck's work is set in central California, particularly in the Salinas Valley and the California Coast Ranges region. His works frequently explored the themes of fate and injustice, especially as applied to downtrodden or everyman protagonists.
