Features: This book is the masterpiece of the renowned American writer and Nobel Prize laureate John Steinbeck. During the 1930s, when the U.S. economy was in turmoil, many farmers faced bankruptcy and became refugees. The author followed the Oklahomans who migrated to California, and the scenes he witnessed deeply shocked him. "There are five thousand families on the verge of starvation, and the problem is acute," he wrote. With a profound and realistic pen, he depicted the struggles and resistance of American farmers on the brink of life and death in the book. After its publication, it caused panic among the ruling classes in various states, with many banning the novel's distribution. In response, a novel titled The Grapes of Wrath was published as a countermeasure. However, nothing could shake the significant position of The Grapes of Wrath in the history of modern American literature.
