Features: Of Mice and Men is set against the backdrop of the Great Depression in the United States. At that time, the harsh economic conditions made many agricultural workers like George and Lennie victims. Their pursuit of the land was crushed by forces beyond their control, yet the author consistently shows unwavering sympathy and love for their tragedy. This book includes the author's famous novella Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flat, The Red Pony, as well as short stories such as The Chrysanthemums and The Escape. These works depict the joys, sorrows, and struggles of the people in the small towns of the American West, where the author was born. Readers can strongly feel the valuable and touching simplicity in the author's early creative style. Among them, The Red Pony was adapted into a film script by the author himself.
