John Steinbeck is a significant phenomenon in the literature of the 20th century. Steinbeck's biography and creative path were complex: the artist knew both great creative successes and periods of professional decline; he was characterized by both frantic democracy and political errors, which he defended with equal tenacity. Coming from a low-income family living in the small center of a California agricultural region, Steinbeck struggled to get an education in his youth, working as a farm laborer, construction worker, forester, and reporter. Knowledge of the life of farmers, agricultural workers, deep sympathy for working people filled with great emotional content, gave special authenticity to a number of his works; the most important of them were written in the 1930s. - a period of economic crisis - and reflected the rise of the labor movement in the USA.
THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1939) - a novel based on a dramatic page in US history. The work was created based on fresh traces of events and under the direct impression of them. In 1937, drought and crop shortages in the central states, aggravating the general socio-political crisis in the country, ruined thousands of farmers and agricultural workers, forcing them to leave their homes and embark on a long journey to the “promised land” that they envisioned in California.
Large masses of settlers moved across America from east to west, driven by the hope of finding a new home, work and a sure piece of bread in California. The book is distinguished by its versatility and socio-philosophical depth in its interpretation of the material. Chapters depicting the forced “odyssey” of a family of semi-literate farmers, the Joads, who overcome incredible difficulties along the way, lose relatives one by one and ultimately find themselves in danger of starvation, alternate with interlude chapters written on behalf of the author and presenting direct social analysis and Steinbeck's commentary on the phenomenon he is talking about.
