«La perla» is the short novel by John Steinbeck and Francisco Baldiz, published by Noguer y Caralt in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Kino, a humble fisherman, finds a pearl of great value just as his son Coyotito has been stung by a scorpion. The discovery awakens the greed of those around him and turns the dream of a better life into a threat. Steinbeck portrays the clash between rich and poor and the loss of innocence in the face of ambition.
Work originally published as The Pearl in 1947. This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Universal Caralt collection.
Suitable for young readers and school reading, with an ethical undertone that invites reflection.
