這部榮獲普立茲獎的大蕭條史詩，曾激勵數百萬讀者，有時甚至激起他們的憤怒。

《大西洋月刊》評選的百年美國偉大小說之一

史坦貝克這部榮獲普立茲獎的大蕭條史詩於1939年首次出版，記錄了20世紀30年代的《沙塵暴》大遷徙，講述了俄克拉荷馬州一個農場家庭喬德一家的故事——他們被迫離開家園，向西遷徙到應許之地加利福尼亞。他們經歷了種種磨難，與美國貧富分化的殘酷現實反覆碰撞，最終演繹出一部充滿人性卻又宏大壯麗的戲劇，其規模和道德視野既樸素又直白，既悲壯又最終以其人性尊嚴震撼人心。這部小說描繪了強權與弱勢之間的衝突，一個男人對不公義的激烈反應，以及一個女人堅忍不拔的力量，它捕捉了大蕭條時期的恐怖，並探討了美國平等與正義的本質。史坦貝克這部具有里程碑意義的偉大小說，既是一部自然主義史詩，也是一部囚禁敘事，一部公路小說，同時也是一部超驗福音，或許是美國經典作品中最具美國特色的一部。

這本百年紀念版專為紀念史坦貝克百年誕辰而設計，採用法式翻頁和毛邊書頁。

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

One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

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.

This Centennial edition, specially designed to commemorate one hundred years of Steinbeck, features french flaps and deckle-edged pages.
