Complemented by a reproduction of Elmer Hader's original Viking first edition cover illustration and other enhancements, a 75th anniversary edition of Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression shares insights into its influence and reflection of period politics. - Baker & Taylor
Depicts the hardships and suffering endured by the Joads as they journey from Oklahoma to California during the Depression. - Penguin Putnam
April 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the first Viking hardcover publication of Steinbeckâs crowning literary achievementFirst published in 1939, Steinbeckâs Pulitzer Prizeâwinning 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 manâs fierce reaction to injustice, and of one womanâs stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes the very nature of equality and justice in America. As Don DeLillo has claimed, Steinbeck âshaped a geography of conscienceâ with this novel where âthere is something at stake in every sentence.â Beyond thatâfor emotional urgency, evocative power, sustained impact, prophetic reach, and continued controversyâThe Grapes of Wrath is perhaps the most American of American classics.
To commemorate the book's 75th anniversary, this volume is modeled on the first edition, featuring the original cover illustration by Elmer Hader and specially designed endpapers by Michael Schwab. - Random House, Inc.
April 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the first Viking hardcover publication of Steinbeck’s crowning literary achievementFirst 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.
