Book John Steinbeck The Grapes of Wrath

Product description from producer

"The Grapes of Wrath" is a book that critics have called the "chronicles of the Great Depression." It tells the story of a rural family from Oklahoma forced to leave their homeland and head west to California in search of the promised land. John Steinbeck wrote this novel based on his personal experiences and observations during the severe economic and social crisis in the United States in the late 1930s. In the summer of 1937, many central states west of the Mississippi River experienced a severe drought that caused soil erosion and the infamous "Dust Bowl." Thousands of farmers and tenants who were devastated by these conditions left their homes in search of shelter and employment in the "Golden State" of California. "The Grapes of Wrath" is a story of the conflict between the powerful and the weak, exploring the nature of equality and injustice. It has become one of the most significant works of American literature.
