Product Description

Ingram

Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as is--both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. Creating characters based on his memories of real inhabitants of Monterey, California, Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc, Henri, Mack, and the boys in a world where only the fittest survive. 2 cassettes. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


About the Author

No writer is more quintessentially American than John Steinbeck. Born in 1902 in Salinas, California, Steinbeck attended Stanford University before working at a series of mostly blue-collar jobs and embarking on his literary career. Profoundly committed to social progress, he used his writing to raise issues of labor exploitation and the plight of the common man, penning some of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century and winning such prestigious awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He received the Nobel Prize in 1962, "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception." Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Small but Wonderful!, Juil 16 2004
Par G. Grisham "grmissouri" (St. Louis, Missouri United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This is a small and quick read, but it is wonderful. I read it first in high school and then again in college and then maybe three times since just for the joy of it. Most anything Steinbeck is great, but this is a gem!!!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Brilliant in its simplicity, Juil 16 2004
Par doc peterson (Portland, Oregon USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Cannery Row is a series of vignettes of life on the California coast in the 1930's. The recurring theme Steibeck seems to explore is the nature of friendship - be it the idol-worship of a mentally handicapped kid, the esprit de corps of a group of ne'er do wells, or the stoic relations the central character of "Doc" has with the rest of the community. It was brilliant.

But Steinbeck's writing was also brilliant - the imagery is vivid, the character descriptions real, and the events that unfold in the tiny, blue-collar town of Monterey are plausable. It is easy to read, and easy to understand why it is considered such a classic of American lit.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Joyfully Wise, Juil 13 2004
Par JOHN J. MCGRAW "author of Brain & Belief" (Solana Beach, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This tale, my very favorite Steinbeck novel, combines lyricism and unforgettably warm characters. The whole 'plot' (or lack thereof) seems adrift in a sea of humor. With but a loose structure, the light-heartedness carries the reader through a time and place that instills one with a love of humanity and all our happy foibles.

Having read it numerous times, I think that the character Mac is the inspiration for Kesey's own Mac (R.P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) and I believe that Steinbeck's aggrandizement of the 'deadbeats' as the 'true philosophers' to be the source of the Coen brother's modern classic, The Big Lebowski (with other influences, admittedly).

Steinbeck appears to have been a great seer. I never tire of this perennial read because it fills with a love of the everyday. Cannery Row is a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light...
