John Steinbeck
The novels of 20th-century American author John Steinbeck sympathetically and compassionately portray poor laborers struggling to survive. Steinbeck’s most popular work, The Grapes of Wrath (1939), reflects the bleak and desperate conditions prevalent during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
