Àííîòàöèÿ: A parable of commitment, loneliness, hope and loss, OF MICE AND MEN is a powerful and moving portrayal of two men striving to understand their own unique place in the world. Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie have nothing in the world except each other - and a dream. A dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes, friendship and a shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, OF MICE AND MEN remains Steinbeck's most popular work.

Àííîòàöèÿ: When this novel was first published, it took both America and Britain by storm. It is a story of a dispossessed community, driven from its bit of land in Oklahoma by the implacable march of industrial progress. The big corporations which own the land the 'squatters' occupy decide that the time has come to mechanize agriculture - and so the bulldozers demolish overnight small-holdings and cabins that represent so many years of hope and labour. Like their fathers before them, these displaced citizens of America set out on the migrant trail to the West, but not, alas, to find a land of plenty in the 'Golden West'.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Pearl: When Kino, an Indian pearl-diver, finds 'the Pearl of the world' he believes that his life will be magically transformed. He will marry Juana in church and their little boy, Coyotito, will be able to attend school. Obsessed by his dreams, Kino is blind to the greed, fear and even violence the pearl arouses in him and his neighbours. The Red Pony: Set on a ranch in the Calidornia mountains this is the story of the joy and sorrow a young boy finds in his responsibility for his horse.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This 1936 novel - set in the California apple country - portrays a strike by migrant workers that metamorphoses from principled defiance into blind fanaticism.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Pearl is a famous novel by John Steinbeck. The book tells the story of Kino, a young pearl diver, who finds the Pearl of the World. Instead of bringing Kino and his family everything that their hearts desire, the pearl brings only violence, tragedy, and death.

Àííîòàöèÿ: When the bodies of man and woman meet in love there is a promise - sometimes so deep buried that thinking does not comprehend - a sharp promise that a child may be the result of this earthquake and this lightning. This each body promises the other... A powerful human drama of two men - one sterile of body, one sterile of mind - and a woman capable of any lie or cheat or violence for her husband's happiness.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In 1940 John Steinbeck sailed in a sardine boat with his great friend the biologist Edward F. Ricketts to collect marine invertebrates from the beaches if the Gulf of California. This expedition was described by the two men in Sea of Cortex, published in 1941. The day-to-day story of the trip is given in the Log, which combines science, philosophy, and high-spirited adventure. This edition includes Steinbeck's profile of his collaborator, "About Ed Ricketts".

Àííîòàöèÿ: Above the Californian fishing port of Monterey stands an old settlement called Tortilla Flat. Here live the paisanos, men with 'a mixture of Spanish, Indian, Mexican, and Caucasian bloods'. Amongst them is Danny - a proud and warm-hearted vagabond - who becomes the leader and saviour of a small company of non-conformists. This is the story of how the group became one; shared wine, food and experiences until tragedy crept over their happiness and the friendship disintegrated.

Àííîòàöèÿ: "Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat." This compelling, dignified and moving novel was inspired by and based upon the Nazi invasion of neutral Norway. Set in an imaginary European mining town, it shows what happens when a ruthless totalitarian power is up against an occupied democracy with an overwhelming desire to be free.
