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.
You will get the sense about the world when you read the book. What did the poor do in the time of Great Depression? How they suffered homeless and hunger after a long day work. How hard to drive to California from the Oklahoma on the Road 66.
評分audiobook. 我聽見讀[ræθ]的時候嚇瞭一大跳,難道我這個詞又讀錯瞭嗎?剛查瞭原來英音是讀[ɒ]的。聽瞭真的很容易睡著好嗎?尤其是開篇講氣候和玉米地的那段。寫的真好,我還沒看夠呢,忽然就結尾瞭……
評分無産階級革命邊緣的美國……文筆很好,但是作者當年對人民團結起來就是力量一些過於美好的幻想,就像今天某些人對自由民主必然就是正途的幻想一樣,有些幼稚瞭
評分結尾確實震驚瞭我。很震撼,非常喜歡的書。

记得当年看肖申克的救赎时,印象最深的,是摩根弗里曼在监狱的楼上喝着啤酒,夕阳笼罩在他的周围,他啜了口酒说,“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” 昨日看完愤怒的葡萄,就突然想起了这句话。 在梦里画的最大的饼,是加利福...

評分这部小说真是充满了太多的不幸和太多的悲哀,以至于我读完后还久久不能释怀。 美国的农民原来也有这样的血泪史,我想这是很多人都不知道的,这也给我留下了很深的印象。 美国三、四年代的经济恐慌对农民来说真是一场巨大的灾难。大量农民失去了赖以生存的土地而被迫...
評分"这里有一种无处投诉的罪行。这里有一种眼泪不足以象征的悲哀。这里有一种绝大的失败,足以使我们一切的成就都垮台。……饥饿的人眼里闪着一股越来越强烈的怒火。愤怒的葡萄充塞着人们的心灵,在那里成长起来,结得沉甸甸的,准备着收获期的到临。" 小说讲述的是饥馑年代(美...
評分昨日读罢斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》,一种哀伤的情绪环绕着我。 先人垦荒得到了土地;遇到灾荒,就向银行借款;还不上钱,土地变成与银行共有;再还不上,土地变成银行所有,他们成了银行的佃农;银行使用了拖拉机,他们从此没有了家;几十万人奔向宣传中的西部乐土---加利...
