Description



About the Book



John Steinbeck wrote The Winter of Our Discontent in 1961, a year before receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, and it stands as his final novel. Steinbeck himself described it as being "about a large part of America as it is today," focusing particularly on the clash between earned wealth and inherited fortune. The novel explores what leads a man--Ethan Allen Hawley, a grocery store clerk and former owner--to undergo a sudden shift in values. That change unfolds, significantly, on July 4th, the U.S. national holiday. The novel can be read as a sharp parable about American values and how money can undermine even the most steadfast honesty. A magnificent work whose message remains strikingly relevant more than fifty years after Steinbeck's death.



About the Author



John Steinbeck (Salinas, 1902 - Nueva York, 1968). Narrador y dramaturgo estadounidense. Estudió en la Universidad de Stanford, pero desde muy joven tuvo que trabajar duramente como albañil, jornalero rural, agrimensor o empleado de tienda. En la década de 1930 describió la pobreza que acompañó a la Depresión económica y tuvo su primer reconocimiento crítico con la novela Tortilla Flat, en 1935. Sus novelas se sitúan dentro de la corriente naturalista o del realismo social americano. Su estilo, heredero del naturalismo y próximo al periodismo, se sustenta sin embargo en una gran carga de emotividad en los argumentos y en el simbolismo presente en las situaciones y personajes que crea, como ocurre en sus obras mayores: De ratones y hombres (1937), Las uvas de la ira (1939) y Al este del Edén (1952). Obtuvo el premio Nobel en 1962.
