Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939,
Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic remains his undisputed
masterpiece. Set against the background of dust bowl Oklahoma and
Californian migrant life, it tells of the Joad family, who, like
thousands of others, are forced to travel West in search of the promised
land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires and broken
dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is
intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision; an eloquent
tribute to the endurance and dignity of the human spirit.
