Synopsis:
When John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath first appeared in 1939, it electrified an America still convalescing from the depression. Particularized in the story of the Joad family, the novel is not only a powerful dramatization of the forced migration of the “Oakies” from their bank-foreclosed fields and farms; it is a dramatization as well of the plight of the dispossessed everywhere. Written out of passionate conviction by a master storyteller, The Grapes of Wrath is both a great social document of an era and a milestone in American fiction. Those who have read it before will find a new impact in the rereading of it, and those of a later generation who come to it for the first time will have the shock of a major literary discovery.
