Best.-Nr. 9788577990467BEST BOLSO. new. "Obra-prima de John Steinbeck em edi��o de bolso. As vinhas da ira � o cl�ssico que valeu o Pr�mio Pulitzer a John Steinbeck e permanece como um dos arqu�tipos da cultura norte-americana. Agraciado tamb�m com o Nobel de Literatura o autor retratou o homem moderno diante das dificuldades a pobreza e a priva��o em um universo hostil protagonizado por v�timas da competi��o e p�rias sociais. O livro � fortemente marcada pela forma pelas descri��es real�sticas e pela reflex�o sobre o mito do para�so americano. As vinhas da ira representa o confronto entre indiv�duo e sociedade atrav�s da epopeia da fam�lia Joad expulsa pela seca dos campos de algod�o de Oklahoma para tentar a sobreviv�ncia como boias-frias nas planta��es de frutas do Vale de Salinas na Calif�rnia. Ao mesmo tempo em que denuncia os dramas e flagelos de um pa�s debilitado pela Grande Depress�o dos anos 30 Steinbeck defende o conceito de que o indiv�duo isolado nada vale e a sobreviv�ncia s� � poss�vel quando existe solidariedade entre os semelhantes. Vencedor de dois Oscar a adapta��o para o cinema foi feita por John Ford em 1940 com Henry Fonda no papel de Tom Joad. "" BEST BOLSO unknown
