The Grapes of Wrath

Today, and after two sessions absent, I'll write about "The Grapes of Wrath", which in spanish means "Las Uvas de la Ira". It's an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck, published in 1939. I got this book  provided that someday I return it to her owner, but the book is so good that I'm rereading.

The story of the book goes back to the 30's in a rural society steeped in a economical and territorial crisis after the Great Depression in 1929, in which Joad family must to emigrate from Oklahoma to California, after selling their land to the capitalist machinery, what Steinbeck shows as a non-human, silent and unkind entity.

What i like to this book is the dedicated atmosphere impregnated in each detail of the color, vestments and emotional states of each character, and overcoat the quiet time that recreates the pain of the story.
It's a long book, but anyway I recommend.
