About this product

Product Information

"There it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon." A Penguin Classic One of Steinbeck's most taught works, The Pearl is the story of the Mexican diver Kino, whose discovery of a magnificent pearl from the Gulf beds means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife Juana cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to tragedy. This classic novella from Nobel Prize-winner John Steinbeck examines the fallacy of the American dream, and illustrates the fall from innocence experienced by people who believe that wealth erases all problems. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by Linda Wagner-Martin and original illustrations by Mexican artist Jos Clemente Orozco. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

"[ The Pearl ] has the distinction and sincerity that are evident in everything he writes." —The New Yorker "Form is the most important thing about him. It is at its best in this work." —Commonweal "[Steinbeck has] long trained his prose style for such a task as this: that supple unstrained, muscular power, responsive to the slightest pull of the reins." —Chicago Sunday Times

The Pearl Can't Buy Happiness
Steinbeck delivers a great story on the theme of money can't buy happiness in his book The Pearl. A Poor Mexican fisherman named Kino discovers a very valauable Pearl one day. He is overjoyed and quickly assumes this new wealth is going to change his life for the better, instead The Pearl only brings about grief and despair. Eventually Kino realizes he was better off and happier as a poor fisherman. Great morality tale.
