«Des souris et des hommes» is the short novel by John Steinbeck, published by Gallimard in paperback (174 pages, in French).
Set in Depression-era California, it follows George Milton and Lennie Small, two migrant laborers who dream of buying their own farm. Lennie, big, simple-minded and of immense strength, depends on George's protection; the friendship that binds them faces the harshness of work, loneliness and prejudice.
Originally published in English as «Of Mice and Men» in 1937, the French edition translated by Maurice-Edgar Coindreau belongs to Gallimard's Folio collection (no. 37).
Aimed at readers of American literary classics; also common reading in school settings.
