«Las uvas de la ira» is the classic novel by John Steinbeck, published by Grupo Anaya Publicaciones Generales in paperback (688 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the Joad family, Oklahoma farmers who, ruined by drought and the Great Depression, migrate to California with thousands of displaced people. There they discover there is no promised land, but precarious jobs, exploitation and rejection; the story portrays the dignity and solidarity with which they try to survive.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1940, it was originally published in 1939; this edition includes the translation by María Coy Girón and belongs to the 13/20 collection (volume 217).
A work commonly read in schools, suitable for those seeking classics of social denunciation.
