"There it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon."
Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a poor diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant son with meager subsistence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino emerges from the sea with a pearl as large as a sea gull's egg, as "perfect as the moon." With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and of security....
A story of classic simplicity, based on a Mexican folk tale, The Pearl explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love.

Read the story first

As a "John Steinbeck"-Fan I of course liked reading this book, being one of his classics. But I recommend skipping the first few pages (containing background-information as well as interpretations) and reading the story first, since the first few pages contain spoilers and information that changes your view on the story (which was not intended by the author).
