Produktbeschreibung
John Steinbeck is most known for the body of work he
produced before the second world war than for what
he produced during or afterward. This book offers a
close examination of his post-war or Cold War body
of work to show that the winner of the 1962 Nobel
Prize in literature never departed from the social
philosophy -- the fam''bly of man -- that so endeared
him to his readership in such works as THE GRAPES OF
WRATH and OF MICE AND MEN.
Indeed, A RUSSIAN JOURNAL, EAST OF EDEN, THE WINTER
OF OUR DISCONTENT, and TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY all
contain elements of what is also known as the
phalanx or group-man theory. This theory,
particularly, went against the grain of rigid,
paranoia-filled Cold War politics, showing quite
clearly that Steinbeck, never mind his idea''s loose
resemblance to communism, was not one to abandon his
convictions.
