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.
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.
只是说我像耶稣一样疲惫了,我像他一样想迷糊论文,我像他一样走到荒野里去,连帐篷都没有。我夜里仰天看着星星,早晨我坐着看太阳出来,中午我从小山上望着起伏的原野:傍晚我就眼睁睁地看着太阳落下去。有时候,我像往常一样祷告。不过我不明白是向谁祷告,为什么祷告。我...
评分首先,感谢韩寒。 没有韩少的《1988》,我可能永远不知道这本书的存在,丁丁哥哥《愤怒的葡萄》。 哦,既然说到了,那就谈一会吧。 “他们想知道我哥哥都学了些什么,大学和技校有什么区别。我哥哥只拿出了两本书,一本《八月之光》 ,一本《愤怒的葡萄》,说,我的书单都有...
评分 评分《愤怒的葡萄》书中开场所描写的沙尘暴,即1930-1936年期间发生在北美的一系列沙尘暴侵袭事件。该事件被称作黑色风暴时间(Dust Bowl),灾害的中心区域为德克萨斯州和奥克拉荷马州的走廊地带,以及新墨西哥州、科罗拉多州和堪萨斯州的衔接区域。干旱致使上百万英亩土地荒芜,...
评分【藏书阁打卡】这本书读完久久不能平复心情,最后的结局简直不能再坏的时候却戛然而止,也许这就是好的作品的特色之一吧。 小说以美国二三十年代经济大萧条时期农民破产、逃荒和斗争为背景,阐述了破产农民的凄惨景象。身处社会最底层的劳苦大众遭受资本家、银行家和实业家的盘...
audiobook. 我听见读[ræθ]的时候吓了一大跳,难道我这个词又读错了吗?刚查了原来英音是读[ɒ]的。听了真的很容易睡着好吗?尤其是开篇讲气候和玉米地的那段。写的真好,我还没看够呢,忽然就结尾了……

评分<愤怒的葡萄>, 很愤怒, 也能引人反复思考和回味.
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.
