Krátky popis
This first full-length biography of the Nobel Laureate to appear in
a quarter century explores John Steinbeck's long apprenticeship as
a writer struggling through the depths of the Great Depression, and
his rise to greatness with masterpieces such as The Red Pony, Of
Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. His most poignant and
evocative writing emerged in his sympathy for the Okies fleeing the
dust storms of the Midwest, the migrant workers toiling in
California's fields and the labourers on Cannery Row, reflecting a
social engagement-paradoxical for all of his natural
misanthropy-radically different from the writers of the so-called
Lost Generation. A man by turns quick-tempered, contrary,
compassionate and ultimately brilliant, Steinbeck took aim at the
corrosiveness of power, the perils of income inequality and the
growing urgency of ecological collapse, all of which drive fierce
public debate to this day.
