Product Description:
The Steinbeck Centennial Collection: The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, The Pearl, Cannery Row, Travels With Charley In Search of America (Boxed Set) Description: No writer is more quintessentially American than John Steinbeck. Born in 1902 in Salinas, California, Steinbeck attended Stanford University before working at a series of mostly blue-collar jobs and embarking on his literary career. Profoundly committed to social progress, he used his writing to raise issues of labor exploitation and the plight of the common man, penning some of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century and winning such prestigious awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He received the Nobel Prize in 1962, "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception." Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures.
The boxed set, containing deluxe trade paperback editions with french flaps, is being released in honor of the Steinbeck centennial being celebrated throughout 2002. Penguin Putnam Inc, in partnership with the Steinbeck Foundation and the Great Books Foundation is sponsoring numerous events throught the year.

It is a very good selection of the writings of Steinbeck, and I am glad to have them in my collection because I feel that his work is certainly worthy of reading more than once. Although I did read some criticism on the paper that is used, I am not versed enough in paper quality to judge that, ... Read More

I bought this as an encouragement gift for my 16 year old grandson.
He and his Mom thought the books were very nice in appearance and are both looking forward to enjoying the hours of escape

I bought 2 sets of this John Steinbeck Centennial Edition. One is for me, and another one is for my mum.
It's great because it's value for money and both mum and I have always loved reading John Steinbeck's creation.
Good one, Amazon!
