A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. The novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes the very nature of equality and justice in America. This was a portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man?s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman?s stoical strength. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into haves and have-nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. This was the author's epic of the Great Depression that chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California.
