The works of john steinbeck, who was awarded the pulitzer and nobel prize for literature, are among the masterpieces of modern world literature. as tomris warns in his introduction, "he sang the song of real hope in all its splendor at a time of history when the hope of human beings, the resistance to existence, is thinning. a realistic hope that is not rosy." for this reason, his works have never lost their actuality as much as their literary values. inspired by a mexican folk tale, the pearl tells the story of a poor pearl hunter, kino, and his family living in a cove that once brought great wealth to the king of spain. the unprecedented pearl that kino pulls out of the sea, in hopes of saving his child, will bring not only hope but also destruction. the essence of the pearl will be mixed with the song of the family, evil, hope and enmity. steinbeck sheds light on the world we live in and the human drama with the pearl that kino pulls out from the depths. more than 100 stocks are offered for sale at the campaign price.
