“No writer is more
quintessentially American than John Steinbeck. Born in 1902 in Salinas,
California, Steinbeck attended Stanford
University before working at a series of mostly blue-collar jobs and
embarking on his literary career. Profoundly
committed to social progress, he used his writing to raise issues of
labor exploitation
and the plight of the common man, penning some of the greatest American
novels of the twentieth century
and winning such prestigious awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the
National Book Award. He received the Nobel
Prize in 1962...”
Steinbeck is one of the
world’s greatest authors, able to depict men and life better than
anyone else. His stories captivate and
enrich the mind; encouraging readers to delve deeper into the
complexities of life
