The Pearl - John Steinbeck - 2011 By: John Steinbeck Narrated by: Hector Elizondo Length: 2 hrs and 35 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 06-15-11 Categories: Literature & Fiction, Classics Language: English Publisher: Penguin Audio Format: mp3 64/48 stereo Publisher's Summary: In this short book illuminated by a deep understanding and love of humanity, John Steinbeck retells an old Mexican folk tale: the story of the great pearl, how it was found, and how it was lost. For the diver Kino, finding a magnificent pearl means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to the tragedy. For Steinbeck, Kino and his wife illustrate the fall from innocence of people who believe that wealth erases all problems. Originally published in 1947, The Pearl shows why Steinbeck’s style has made him one of the most beloved American writers: it is a simple story of simple people, recounted with the warmth and sincerity and unrivaled craftsmanship Steinbeck brings to his writing. It is tragedy in the great tradition, beautifully conveying not despair but hope for mankind. ©1945, 1973 Elaine Steinbeck, John Steinbeck IV, Thom Steinbeck (P)2011 Penguin Audio Critic reviews "[The Pearl] has the distinction and sincerity that are evident in everything he writes." (The New Yorker) "Form is the most important thing about him. It is at its best in this work." (Commonweal) "[Steinbeck has] long trained his prose style for such a task as this: that supple unstrained, muscular power, responsive to the slightest pull of the reins."
