![]() ![]() Steinbeck's classic depression saga is his most celebrated work, but perhaps his most pointed a politically charged. The story of the Joad family's trek from their farm to the promised land of California is a small scale picture of the larger movement of people, as the two narratives are interwoven throughout the novel. While the Joad family is made up of many different individuals, it is the family that is the main character of the book, with each individual offering a different facet of the experience of the whole. As the individual members slowly fall out before the novel concludes, the family struggles to survive. A heaviness grows as the situation becomes increasingly desperate, but the perseverance, embodied in the family's matriarch drives the family to survive against all odds. Alongside Ma Joad, the Casy, the former preacher embodies the moral outrage and the Christlike actions that are seemingly absent from organized religion. The contrast between the openness and generosity of the poor immigrants and the Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck at his angriest, as he rails against the capitalist system that victimizes the millions on faceless and nameless millions embidied in the Joads. Don't get me wrong. This is an extremely well written book. The biggest mistake that I made was reading East Of Eden before I read this. I believe that had I read Grapes first it wouldn't have felt so rambling. There are places that just seem to go on and on and on. I don't want to discourage anyone from reading this but I just don't think it is his best work.
35 livres cultes à lire au moins une fois dans sa vie Quels sont les romans qu'il faut avoir lu absolument ? Un livre culte qui transcende, fait réfléchir, frissonner, rire ou pleurer… La littérature est indéniablement créatrice d’émotions. Si vous êtes adeptes des classiques, ces titres devraient vous plaire. De temps en temps, il n'y a vraiment rien de mieux que de se poser devant un bon bouquin, et d'oublier un instant le monde réel. Mais si vous êtes une grosse lectrice ou un gros lecteur, et que vous avez épuisé le stock de votre bibliothèque personnelle, laissez-vous tenter par ces quelques classiques de la littérature. Seventy years after The Grapes of Wrath was published, its themes – corporate greed, joblessness – are back with a vengeance. ... The peaks of one's adolescent reading can prove troughs in late middle age. Life moves on; not all books do. But 50 years later, The Grapes of Wrath seems as savage as ever, and richer for my greater awareness of what Steinbeck did with the Oklahoma dialect and with his characters. It is Steinbeck's best novel, i.e., his toughest and tenderest, his roughest written and most mellifluous, his most realistic and, in its ending, his most melodramatic, his angriest and most idyllic. It is "great" in the way that Uncle Tom's Cabin was great—because it is inspired propaganda, half tract, half human-interest story, emotionalizing a great theme. Steinbeck has written a novel from the depths of his heart with a sincerity seldom equaled. It may be an exaggeration, but it is the exaggeration of an honest and splendid writer. Mr. Steinbeck's triumph is that he has created, out of a remarkable sympathy and understanding, characters whose full and complete actuality will withstand any scrutiny.
