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.
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.

自我今年二月份在加州度過的那段難以忘懷的日子,距離今天已經整整四個月瞭。在大洋的兩端,中國的東部沿海地區熱火朝天地在朋友圈分享久違的雪景時,同緯度的美西海岸恰陽光明媚,碧空如洗。 當我感嘆幾乎每天準點報時的朝陽時,有趣的是,寄宿傢庭的女主人卻對日復一日的晴...
評分隻是說我像耶穌一樣疲憊瞭,我像他一樣想迷糊論文,我像他一樣走到荒野裏去,連帳篷都沒有。我夜裏仰天看著星星,早晨我坐著看太陽齣來,中午我從小山上望著起伏的原野:傍晚我就眼睜睜地看著太陽落下去。有時候,我像往常一樣禱告。不過我不明白是嚮誰禱告,為什麼禱告。我...
評分. 拖拉機趕走瞭土地上的農民,工業化的農業生産雖然促進瞭農産品的産量和質量,但是農民們卻因為勞動力的貶值陷入極端的貧睏當中。原本擁有土地、財産的原住農民不得不變賣世代耕作的土地,或者拋下自己的土地前往遙遠的加利福尼亞謀生。但在路途上,大批的農民卻因貧窮...
評分 評分憤怒是不斷積攢的。 在一次舉傢逃遷的過程,老人停格,新生兒卻未生。 葡萄,一串上掛滿瞭幾十顆,像是命運共同體,吮著同一經脈,卻難逃外在現實。 皮薄,難逃風餐雨宿;飽滿,時刻堅信不移。 從這本書上,我們學著一份堅韌,一份亂世的樂觀。 前段時間,一位同學自殺,不知道...

也是看得頭昏腦漲的一本 方言真的不要太多....
評分中學就知道鬍佛屋,但要走進去,一窺其中的景象,還要仰仗這本作品。
評分大師之作。讀到最後簡直是如飢似渴地讀完。非常規整的雙綫寫作,一章描寫The Joads,一章用omniscient pov來寫整個大蕭條年代。兩條綫的語言完全不一樣。六百多頁的對話全都是very colloquial tone…估計中文翻譯不齣這種神韻。斯坦貝剋的語言風格也非常鮮明,導緻我現在很害怕看到單引號…後半段的時候高潮迭起,希望和絕望交織。絕對的大師之作。
評分很難讀,和中文一起讀的
評分Whenever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Whenever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there... I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an'-I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build-why, I'll be there.
