«La perla» is the short novel by John Steinbeck, published by Editorial Vicens Vives in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a coastal village in Mexico, this short novel tells the story of Kino, an indigenous fisherman who finds the most beautiful pearl in the world. The discovery, which at first promises a better future for his family, awakens the greed and harassment of a materialistic society and triggers a conflict that pits him against an adverse fate. Inspired by a Mexican legend, the work combines lyricism and social criticism in portraying the loss of innocence and the struggle for survival.
The work belongs to the Aula de Literatura collection, number 18, and includes an introduction, explanatory notes and work proposals.
