JOHN STEINBECK - GEBRAUCHT THE GRAPES OF WRATH ...

The Grapes of Wrath is a landmark of American literature. 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. Although it follows the movement of thousands
of men and women and the transformation of an entire nation  The Grapes of Wrath is also the
story of one Oklahoma family  the Joads  who are driven off 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.
