TEXT II


The Grapes of Wrath


By John Steinbeck


The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a

book that galvanized—and sometimes outraged—millions of

readers.

First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning

5 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

10 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

15 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

20 is perhaps the most American of American Classics.
