Description: Among the foremost contemporary American writers, John Steinbeck is without doubt the most consistently widely geed. He has repeatedly tested his creativity on different forms, ranging from the picaresque (Tortilla Flat) through the sociological (The Grapes of Wroth) and the philosophical (East of Eden), to the hilariousiy satiric (The Short Reign of Pippin 'V) and the warmly personal (Travels with Charley in Search of America). This collection presents a representative selection of Steinbeck's best and again underscores his versatility and the integrity of purpose that he brings to each of his works.
