First published in 1939\, Steinbeck's Puli tzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl m igration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family\, th e Joads\, driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the pro mised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collision s against the hard realities of an America divided into haves and have-not s evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and mo ral vision\, elemental yet plainspoken\, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity.
\n\;
\nA portrait of the conflict bet ween the powerful and the powerless\, of one man's fierce reaction to inju stice\, and of one woman's stoical strength\, the novel captures the horro rs of the Great Depression and probes the very nature of equality and just ice in America. As Don DeLillo has claimed\, Steinbeck "shaped a geography of conscience" with this novel where "there is something at stake in ever y sentence." Beyond that--for emotional urgency\, evocative power\, sustai ned impact\, prophetic reach\, and continued controversy--The Grapes of Wr ath \;is perhaps the most American of American classics.
