«La perla» is John Steinbeck's novella translated into Catalan by Josep Vallverdú, published in paperback by Editorial Teide in 1987.
Kino, a poor diver, finds an enormous pearl that seems capable of changing his family's life. Inspired by a Mexican legend, the story follows Kino and Juana: hope of escaping poverty mingles with greed and distrust, and what seemed like a gift becomes a threat.
The work was originally published in 1947 under the title «The Pearl»; this Catalan edition is from 1987.
A common reading in schools, suitable for those who want to begin with John Steinbeck's fiction.
