Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
A work dedicated to the colorful world of the slums of the California city of Monterie of the 1930s.
The reader will meet very unusual characters, descendants of Indians, Mexicans and Americans. Basically, they are engaged in small theft, illegal scams and often find themselves behind bars. But, despite this, the reader for some reason is sympathetic for them. Rough manners are combined with exalted aspirations, a tendency to hypocrisy turns into touching innocence, and cunning and cheating are suddenly replaced by selflessness and selflessness.
Steinbek himself in the preface to the “Tortily-Flat quarter” so responded about their heroes: “All this is“ all this - People whom I know and love are people who adapt excellently to the environment. This property of human nature is called a true philosophical attitude to life, and this is a wonderful thing. ”
