Set during the Great Depression, The Grapes of Wrath follows the Joad family, poor tenant farmers from Oklahoma, who are driven from their home by a devastating combination of drought, economic hardship, changes in the agricultural industry, and bank foreclosures that have displaced countless families. Faced with nearly hopeless circumstances and trapped in the heart of the Dust Bowl, the Joads embark on a desperate journey westward to California, the "promised land," along with thousands of other displaced "Okies" seeking work, land, and a better future. Their odyssey reveals not only the grueling physical challenges of migration but also the emotional and spiritual toll wrought by social inequities, as the family struggles to maintain their dignity in the face of overwhelming adversity.

The Grapes of Wrath remains a powerful exploration of human endurance, the stark realities of inequality, and the relentless pursuit of dignity in a world rife with injustice. A work of profound social commentary, it won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was also instrumental in John Steinbeck's receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962, solidifying its place as one of the most influential and enduring works of 20th-century American literature.

John Steinbeck (1902-1968) was a 20th century American writer, celebrated alike for his fictional and non-fictional works. He wrote a total of 16 novels many of which have now become classic literature. They include Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row, The Pearl, East of Eden and The Red Pony. The Great Depression classic The Grapes of Wrath also won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and has sold a whopping 15 million copies. His other works include 2 collections of short stories and 6 non-fiction books. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962.
