Steinbeck's classic account of the Dust Bowl and Depression era struggle of the Joad family The Grapes of Wrath is a quintessential American classic. It would win both the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize; and the Nobel Prize committee would refer to it as Steinbeck's "epic chronicle" upon giving him the award in 1962. The book was the best-selling novel of 1939 and became instantly controversial upon its release for its depiction of farmers and worker rights. Of course The Grapes of Wrath was also adapted into the classic 1940 film directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda which was one of the first films selected by The Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
