Steinbeck's third novel set among a small band of paisanos in Monterey California in the aftermath of World War I. "The story of Danny and his paisano friends in Monterery is a satire on the Arthurian knights of the round table. On a deeper level it is a tragedy a defense of the non-conformist personality and a statement that what does not change will surely die applies to societies as well as individuals" Baird 2341.

1939Best.-Nr. 190786New York: The Viking Press 1939. The fields were fruitful and starving men moved on the roads First edition of the author's masterpiece widely regarded as the supreme literary achievement of the Depression era. The film adaptation by Darryl F. Zanuck produced the following year is similarly one of the greatest 20th-century American films. "Lauded by critics nationwide for its scope and intensity the book attracted an equally vociferous minority opinion" with some debating Steinback's use of supposedly crass language and his unwavering sympathy for the disenfranchised ANB. It was consequently banned in several counties until well into the Second World War. The jacket design is by the children's writer and illustrator Elmer Hader 1889-1973 the joint recipient alongside his wife Berta of the 1948 Caldecott medal. Steinbeck was so taken with the illustrations in their book Billy Butter 1936 that he specially requested Elmer design the jacket for The Grapes of Wrath. Elmer later designed the jackets of East of Eden 1952 and The Winter of Our Discontent 1961. Octavo. Original buff cloth spine lettered in brown pictorial design in brown wrapped around spine and covers endpapers printed with sheet music for "Battle Hymn of the Republic" top edge yellow.
