Quote

"The people in flight from the terror behind - strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever."

Notes

"The Grapes of Wrath" is a powerful novel written by John Steinbeck, first published in 1939. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, it tells the gripping story of the Joad family, Oklahoma sharecroppers who are forced to migrate to California in search of a better life. The novel captures the desperation and hardships faced by countless families during the Dust Bowl era, as they confront poverty, discrimination, and exploitation in their pursuit of the American Dream. Steinbeck's prose is both poetic and raw, painting a vivid picture of the Joads' journey and the social injustices of the time. "The Grapes of Wrath" remains a classic of American literature, celebrated for its social commentary, vivid characters, and unflinching portrayal of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity.
