The Pearl by John Steinbeck
A poor fisherman dreams of wealth and happiness for his family when he finds a priceless pearl.
“[The Pearl] has the distinction and sincerity that are evident in everything he writes”The New Yorker
“Form is the most important thing about him. It is at its best in this work.” Commonweal
“[Steinbeck has] long trained his prose style for such a task as this: that supple unstrained, muscular power, responsive to the slightest pull of the reins.”Chicago Sunday Times
