| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Set during the Great Depression, John Steinbeck's epic novel Grapes of Wrath focuses on the Joads, a poor family of sharecroppers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in financial and agricultural industries. The novel provoked a wide debate about the hard lot of migrant labourers, and helped put an agricultural reform into effect. The book studies Steinbeck's masterpiece in detail, along with his other notable works including East of Eden, and Of Mice and Men.
