The Grapes of Wrath ; The Moon is Down ; Cannery Row ; East of Eden ; Of Mice and Men "THE GRAPES OF WRATH This great novel of the Depression years is the saga of the Joad family's eviction from the dust-bowl country of Oklahoma, their grim trek to the promised land of California and their struggle to survive there in the terrible conditions of the migrant camps. THE MOON IS DOWN Invasion comes to a small Norwegian town, and this tragedy of the wartime resistance movement tells how the inhabitants courageously meet their conquerors.

EAST OF EDEN Set in the developing frontier land of California during the last half of the nineteenth century, this vast and impressive novel tells of the relationship of two families as they carve out a place for themselves in the panoramic fresco of a growing nation. OF MICE AND MEN the extraordinary and poignant story of two farm workers: Lennie, a simple-minded giant and George, his mentor and protector who is unable to save Lennie from his worst enemy-his own strength."--Jacket. |
