Review: Basic desertcart print, the pixels of the cover art are visible because it is just copy pasted...... Review: John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. No wonder The Grapes of Wrath won the Pulitzer…. Classic is a CLASSIC. Very emotional response to the great depression and stock market loss in America and using that as the backdrop, the novel projects the inhumane and dehumanizing nature of human beings and equally projecting and championing the case for the humane nature of humankind. The Narration part is phenomenal. Alternate chapters take different narrators- the workers, farmers, migrants, shop keepers.... The Novels talks about the Oklahoma City migrant workers- focusing on the Joads. The story revolves around the Joad family. Tom Joads is recently released from prison for killing a man while being drunk. As he comes back to his father’s cotton farm, he meets Casy, an ex-preacher, and they both reach the destination only to find that the land is desolated. Understands from a local man Muley that the lands are being taken by banks and the Joads are in Uncle John’s house and are, like the other folks, preparing themselves to move to California aiming job for survival. After days of preparation, they finally start the journey. Grandpa, grandma, Pa, Ma, Tom Joads, his brothers Al Joads and Noel Joads, his pregnant sister Rose of Sharon and her husband Connie, along with Casy, Uncle John, kids Ruthie and Winfred, and one of their dogs, the Joads like the Israelites hoping to reach the land of milk and honey, are on wheels towards California. The road teaches the Joads lots of life lessons; they meet friendly poor migrants, the meet lots of calculative opportunist shop keepers, and guards who side with the wealthy few. The family lose their dog in an accident, and they also lose both grandma and grandpa before reaching California. Oh yes they do reach California, but not everyone in the family. Noel goes his way and so is Connie. The hope of the Joads to get jobs starts to shake from the foundation, as unemployed migrants are everywhere and they overcrowd California. The wages are low, still the Joads endure to live decently with the earned money. Ma Joads takes up the task of keeping the family together against all odds, even when shifting from one place to the other. Like the tortoise, the Joads move in all possible direction looking for job prospects, taking their home along at the back. Whether they win lot of money in the new-found land, or lose every single penny… Whether they gain friends or accumulate ememies… Whether they endure and stick as one family or split… Whether they accept the reality as fate or they fight and act different… Whether they are fettered by the past or stoic enough to face the present… - that’s for the readers to pry. But one thing I can assure- like his novella Of Mice and Men, the Novel The Grapes of Wrath wins the heart of readers. It has done in the past and present and so it will continue too for the future readers. COMPELLING READ. Thumps up for the 1963 Nobel winner- THE JOHN STEINBECK. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #54,505 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #277 in U.S. Literature #385 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,077 in Literary Fiction | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (6,784) | | Dimensions | 11.1 x 2.9 x 18.1 cm | | Edition | 11th | | ISBN-10 | 0141394889 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0141394886 | | Item weight | 373 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 688 pages | | Publication date | 3 April 2014 | | Publisher | Penguin Classics | ## Images ![The Grapes of Wrath - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1Smr87CboL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Review *by R***R on 15 May 2024* Basic Amazon print, the pixels of the cover art are visible because it is just copy pasted...... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***N on 20 November 2018* John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath.

La storia di disperazione e speranza di questa famiglia che va a Ovest oggi è tragicamente attuale vedendo un intero continente che cerca un futuro a Nord. Si fa fatica a finirlo, la disperazione non finisce mai. Poi il colpo di genio, nelle ultime righe. Da leggere, come tutti i libri di Steinbeck, d'altra parte. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/339189069-the-grapes-of-wrath](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/339189069-the-grapes-of-wrath) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
