内容简介
······
First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.
This Penguin Classics edition contains an introduction and notes by Steinbeck scholar Robert Demott.

John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. (February 27, 1902 – December 20, 1968) was an American author. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception". He has been called "a giant of American letters", and many of his works are considered classics of Western literature.

2021_16 总算在今年过完之前把这本书看完了。中间看不下去停了好几次。一开始没有在路上之前有很多大段的叙述，性急就不看了；后来加州的情节太悲惨，也看不下去。是一部看着看着会难受的书。
為了深入瞭解這個現在我生活的瘋狂國家，我一直在慢慢地閱讀「偉大的美國小說」。通過小說(如果可能的話)瞭解整個國家是一種微妙的藝術。
斯坦貝克為被壓迫者描繪了一幅感傷的肖像。直接而痛心，像一個多愁善感的樂觀主義者——對他來說，事情之所以糟糕，是因為暫時的權力失衡。並天真地認為人類從本質上是善良的，被財富和權力所腐蝕。它的吸引力在於心靈而非頭腦。
斯坦貝克幾乎不用任何形象化的語言就能把事情描述得很好。…
