When "The Grapes of Wrath" first appeared in 1939, it electrified an America still recovering from the Great Depression. Driven from their Oklahoma farm by the encroachment of large agricultural interests, the Joad family sets out, like generations before them, to the promised land of California. As they travel across the country, joined by countless other unwilling migrants, the Joads confront the naked realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots.
Written with passionate conviction, "The Grapes of Wrath" is an unforgettable panorama of an era and bold dramatization of the plight of the dispossessed everywhere.
