Murder

Combining despair, determination and optimism, the writing of John Steinbeck gave a powerful voice to the suffering poor of America during the Depression and beyond. Penguin have made the whole range of his novels – including The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men – and his lesser-known works available to millions of readers. These four tales consider the struggle for survival in 1940s America, against a backdrop of majestic beauty.
