April 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the first Viking hardcover publication of Steinbeck’s crowning literary achievement
First
published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize–winning epic of the Great
Depression 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.
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.
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, the novel captures the horrors of the Great
Depression and probes the very nature of equality and justice in
America. As Don DeLillo has claimed, Steinbeck “shaped a geography of
conscience” with this novel where “there is something at stake in every
sentence.” Beyond that—for emotional urgency, evocative power, sustained
impact, prophetic reach, and continued controversy—The Grapes of Wrath is perhaps the most American of American classics.
To
commemorate the book's 75th anniversary, this volume is modeled on the
first edition, featuring the original cover illustration by Elmer Hader
and specially designed endpapers by Michael Schwab.
