July 26, 2016

This Library of America edition of John Steinbeck’s major works includes the following four volumes:

Novels and Stories 1932–1937 | 909 pages
The Pastures of Heaven (stories) • To a God Unknown • Tortilla Flat • In Dubious Battle • Of Mice and Men
Here are the novels and stories that established the young Steinbeck’s reputation. These five works chart his evolution into one of the greatest and most enduringly popular of American novelists.

The Grapes of Wrath and Other Writings 1936–1941 | 1067 pages
The Grapes of Wrath • The Long Valley (stories) • The Log from the Sea of Cortez • The Harvest Gypsies
The Pulitzer Prize–winning The Grapes of Wrath is presented here in a newly edited based on Steinbeck’s manuscript, typescript, and galleys. The Long Valley is a collection of brilliant short stories such as “The Red Pony,” “The Chrysanthemums,” and “Flight,” while The Log from the Sea of Cortez is a revealing exposition of Steinbeck’s guiding beliefs. The Harvest Gypsies, his report on migrant workers that laid the groundwork for The Grapes of Wrath, is included as an appendix.

Novels 1942–1952 | 983 pages
The Moon Is Down • Cannery Row • The Pearl • East of Eden
Steinbeck continues to explore new subjects: life and resistance under Nazi occupation; a biological laboratory operator serves as the mainstay for a cast of philosphical drifters; a parable of wealth’s corrupting influence; a family epic. (The Pearl appears here with the original illustrations by José Clemente Orozco.)

Travels with Charley and Later Novels 1947–1962 | 990 pages
The Wayward Bus • Burning Bright • Sweet Thursday • The Winter of Our Discontent •
Travels with Charley in Search of America
This Library of America volume collects four late novels, along with Travels with Charley, his celebrated account of a journey across America with his standard poodle.
