愤怒的葡萄 – The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

我不知道那里是天堂还是地狱，但那里是我们唯一的希望，而我们一定要活下去……

这是一个感人至深的传奇故事。沙尘暴毁了乔德一家的土地，迫使他们离开家乡。他们用破铜烂铁拼装出一辆拖车，堆上所有家当，沿着六十六号公路，一路向西，前往传说中葡萄漫山遍野的天堂——加州。在这趟三千公里的漫长旅程里，他们经历了很多不可思议的事情。有些事情很残酷、很痛苦，但也有些际遇是如此感动他们，令他们重燃活下去的信心。

The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized—and sometimes outraged—millions of readers.

First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s 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 and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.
