Description:I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride for my profession.John Steinbeck is one of the most legendary authors in American history. An accomplished author, Steinbeck wrote with a pen both profound and earnest, each of his masterfully crafted novels addressing the harsh economic conditions of The Great Depression, and the hardships faced by the rural and lower class during these times. That he himself experienced many of these hardships first-hand lent an air of authenticity to his work, though his own family never suffered greatly.Steinbeck was born neither rich nor famous, and as a result was required to work for much of what he was given over the course of his life. Although his mother–who nurtured Steinbeck’s love of the written word as a boy–initially lamented the young man’s decision to be a writer at the age of 14, his parents eventually came to support their young son as best they could after realizing the talents he possessed.Steinbeck enrolled in the University of Stanford in 1919, infrequently attending classes there, and eventually dropping out in 1925 without acquiring a degree. Although he was no longer a student, he’d made many friends during his time there, many of them migrants and tramps. An early sympathy for the downtrodden quickly developed into a deep empathy for the economically helpless and politically disenfranchised.This empathy would eventually harden Steinbeck’s resolve, transforming him into a social crusader. Naturally, he pursued social justice in the only way he knew how–by writing.Observant, shy, and often mischievous, Steinbeck was described by many who knew him as a writer first, and nothing else. The English language was his passion; words were his craft; novels his life. It was a combination of these observational skills and his deep friendship with the marine biologist Edward Ricketts.The most remarkable quality of the man, Steinbeck later wrote in an autobiography dedicated to his friend, was his “teleological” thinking...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
