书籍简介:
Today, nearly forty years after his death, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck remains one of America’s greatest writers and cultural figures. We have begun publishing his many works for the first time as blackspine Penguin Classics featuring eye-catching, newly commissioned art. This season we continue with the seven spectacular and influential books East of Eden, Cannery Row, In Dubious Battle, The Long Valley, The Moon Is Down, The Pastures of Heaven, and Tortilla Flat. Penguin Classics is proud to present these seminal works to a new generation of readers—and to the many who revisit them again and again.
作者简介:
约翰•斯坦贝克(John Steinbeck,1902—1968),美国作家,1962年诺贝尔文学奖得主。一生共创作27部作品,代表作包括《煎饼坪》(1935)、《人鼠之间》(1937)、《小红马》(1937)、《愤怒的葡萄》(1939)、《罐头厂街》(1945)、《伊甸园之东》(1952)、《我们不满的冬天》(1961)等。其中《愤怒的葡萄》还获得1939年的美国国家图书奖和1940年的普利策奖。
斯坦贝克既是文学大师,也是最受美国民众喜爱的畅销作家之一,迄今为止其作品累计销售近一亿册,其中超过半数是《愤怒的葡萄》《人鼠之间》这两部代表作。
斯坦贝克的作品多描写底层的社会大众,替穷苦人说话,为被压迫者申辩,展现他们广阔壮丽的生活图景,刻画他们面对困境时所展现出的人性光辉——善良、富有同情心,以及为生存而奋斗的勇气。
