The Grapes of Wrath

Item no. CA649130172

Steinbeck, John

1930s and the depression in the USA. When Tom Joad returns after four years in prison, he finds that his family has been evicted from their farm. The hard times force the family to pack everything they own into their rickety car and head to California. They have been lured there by promises of jobs in cotton fields and peach orchards, but the dream of a better life exists only in the advertisements. The West Coast is flooded with poor families seeking work, and greedy employers ruthlessly exploit their vulnerable situation. The burdens of poverty weigh heavily on the family, but in the end, it is solidarity and loyalty that matter most.
