by John Steinbeck (Author)
Posiblemente haya que huir del infierno para descubrir que no existe la tierra prometida.
Forzados por la sequ?a y el acoso de los bancos, los Joad, una familia de granjeros de la Oklahoma rural y empobrecida de los a?os treinta, emprenden un atribulado ?xodo a lo largo de la carretera 66 con la intenci?n de buscar trabajo y una vida digna en california. Si atr?s dejan campos asolados por las tormentas de polvo, en el camino s?lo encuentran penuria, hambre, hostilidad en los pueblos por los que pasan... Pero ni las advertencias de quienes regresan, pobres y desenga?ados, ni la muerte y la progresiva desintegraci?n de la familia, bastan para que cejen en su empe?o. Y, en su af?n de supervivencia, conservan la entereza y la dignidad frente a la miseria moral de quienes se aprovechan de la miseria real.
