More about the book
This volume brings together five novels, two lengthy and three short, including <i>Of Mice and Men</i>, the book which first brought him fame and success in the 1930's. The dramatic short tale was something in which Steinbeck excelled, as can be seen by the two examples here — <i>Cannery Row</i> and <i>The Moon is Down</i>. Yet this fine literary craftsman created longer family epics with equal success. <i>East of Eden</i> is his most ambitious work, and <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i>, his best known and most compelling novel, is the one book, above all others, which captures the atmosphere of the Depression years in the United States. John Steinbeck gained many awards in his lifetime, including the Nobel Prize for Literature, and his work has won increasing recognition since his death, from critics and public alike. All his books have a realistic, tumultuous and entertaining quality and the best of them are included in this volume.
