![]() ![]() ![]() And now, 70 years later it stands up to the test of time. During WWII it was a best seller in many places, including France. :) This book was written for a purpose: to encourage people to stand up to evil and oppression. I like his views on how we treat one another. I like how much he desired to know people. And I think I also really like him - not the author, the person. I love that he can describe the worst of life but make it a beautiful exploration of social norms and values. I love the simplicity with which he writes. I like the attention he gives to every detail when describing his characters and settings. This is my 8th book of his that I have read in less than two months. ![]() I will tell you right up front - I love Steinbeck. This year I determined to read the classics - and that gave me the gift of reading John Steinbeck! Now I am on a mission to read everything he has written. ![]()
