The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized—and sometimes outraged—millions of readers.
One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
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 Centennial edition, specially designed to commemorate one hundred years of Steinbeck, features french flaps and deckle-edged pages.

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Mit Sicherheit eines der besten und wichtigsten Bücher, die je geschrieben wurden. Es erzählt, die Geschichte der Farmerfamilie Joad, die wie viele andere Familien während der Staubstürme und der großen Dürre der 30er Jahre ihre Farm in Oklahoma verliert und nach Kalifornien auswandert. Dort erhoffen sie sich Arbeit und ein besseres Leben, finden jedoch größtenteils Ausbeutung und Ablehnung. Ein Schicksal, das noch heute viele Flüchtlinge teilen müssen. Daher ist das Buch nach wie vor wichtig und aktuell.
Hier in der Jubiläumsausgabe, die der Erstausgabe nachempfunden wurde. Besonders schön fällt der raue Buchschnitt ins Auge. Nur beim Einband hätte ich mir Leinen statt Papier gewünscht, das tut dem Gesamteindruck aber keinen Abbruch. Alles in Allem ein schönes Sammlerstück!
