American literature would not be complete without John Steinbeck’s masterpiece entitled „The Grapes of Wrath”. This outstanding novel is supposedly the most significant dispelling of the myth of California as a Promised Land. This book is considered to be the most thorough examination of American society in the thirties. ... As Steinbeck said: “I like it because it is a march and this book is a kind of march- because it is in our own revolutionary tradition and because in reference to this book it has a large meaning”. ...
“The Grapes of Wrath” ‘s plot is set in these economical realities. ... As most Americans the Joads considered it to be a Promised Land where they could fulfil their deepest dreams of a dignified and free society in which they could harvest the fruits of their own labour. ...
“The grapes of wrath” perfectly reflects the Usa and its society of the thirties. The novel shows how much determined a human being can be in pursuit of happiness. ... Steinbeck opens everyone’s eyes in his book by presenting California- the Promised Land as a tale of dashed illusions, thwarted desires and betrayed promises.
