First published in 1939, The Grapes of Wrath is a landmark of American literature. This 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 by the 'land companies: and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. A portrai of conflict between the powerful and powerless captures the horrors of the Depression and probes the very nature of equality in America.
