SINOPSIS
The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized – and sometimes outraged – million of readers.
The Grapes of Wrath summed ip its era in the way that Uncle Tom’s Cabin had summed up the years of slavery before the Civil War. At once naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s fictional chronicle of the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s is perhaps the most American of the American classics.
Although it follows the movement of thousands of men and women and the transformation of the entire nation, The Grapes of Wrath is also the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, who are driven off their home instead 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, Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral visoin, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its insistence on human dignity.
