Tortilla flat

Esta novela breve narra el hallazgo de una perla de incalculable valor y las consecuencias que acarrea a un modesto pescador, Kino, cuyo hijo ha sido víctima de la picadura de un escorpión. Sin embargo, el interés de esta novela reside en el enfrentamiento entre dos mundos, el de los ricos y el de los pobres, y en el proceso de cambio en las relaciones humanas en función de la situación económica de las personas. Esto explica que sea una novela ampliamente usada en la escuela para invitar a la reflexión ética. En el centenario de este gran autor era obligado dignificar y poner de nuevo al alcance de los lectores españoles una buena edición en tapa dura de esta pequeña joya literaria.

Las uvas de la ira

El mundo de las letras celebra este año el centenario del nacimiento de John Steinbeck, Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1962, y el cincuentenario de la publicación de Al este del Edén, dos motivos más que suficientes para devolver a los lectores esta novela, una de las más conocidas de este autor, y en la que se inspiró Elia Kazan para la película del mismo título protagonizada por James Dean, que interpretó al personaje, mítico para toda una generación, de Cal Trask. Entre la guerra de secesión y la primera guerra mundial, dos familias viven a lo largo de tres generaciones en el lejano valle de Salinas. Tras acompañar a la familia Hamilton en su épico asentamiento en California, el lector penetra en el sofocante mundo de los Trask, en el que Adam, un hombre de costumbres estrictas y severas, intenta educar en el recto camino a sus hijos Aron y Cal, tras ser abandonado por su mujer, a quien nadie en la familia se atreve a nombrar. Aron es trabajador, obediente y cumplidor. Cal, inquieto y siempre insatisfecho, no soporta el peso del silencio en torno a su madre, cuyo carácter indomable cree él —y secretamente también Adam— que ha heredado; así pues, ya es inevitable la lucha soterrada por el reconocimiento del padre, cuyo rechazo hacia Cal conduce a éste a la más provocadora rebeldía. Un día, Cal se siente extrañamente atraído por la misteriosa Cathy Adams, que regenta el burdel más célebre de la región. A partir de ese instante, la maldición caerá sobre Cal, condenado irremisiblemente a permanecer al este de un elusivo Edén...

The first great literary success of John Steinbeck, this funny and tender novel takes place on the California coast in the district of Tortilla Flat, home to a group of paisanos—men and women who are a mixture of Mexican, Indian, Spanish, and Caucasian descent—who live separately from social norms and the ups and downs of the economy. Danny, Jesus Maria, Pablo, Pilon, and Big Joe Portagee spend their time getting drunk, getting into fights, and sleeping with women until Danny inherits two houses from his deceased uncle at the end of World War I. The paisanos’ savage freedom is altered a little by this development, but the houses soon become the perfect setting for much of their camaraderie. The responsibility of the houses proves too great for Danny and his friends, however, as they yearn to go back to their carefree ways. Full of hilarious situations and written with a deep lyricism, this classic story aptly captures the lifestyle of the paisanos. El primer gran éxito literario de John Steinbeck, esta novela divertida y tierna toma lugar en la costa de California en el distrito de Tortilla Flat, donde vive un grupo de paisanos—hombres y mujeres que son una mezcla de ascendencia mexicana, india, española y caucásica—separados de las normas de la sociedad y los vaivenes mercantilistas. Danny, Jesus Maria, Pablo, Pilon y Big Joe Portagee pasan su tiempo emborrachándose, peleando y acostándose con las mujeres, hasta que Danny hereda dos casas de su difunto tío a finales de la Primera Guerra Mundial. La libertad salvaje de los paisanos se altera un poco, pero las casas pronto se convierten en lugares perfectos para su camaradería. Sin embargo, la responsabilidad de las casas resulta demasiado grande para Danny y sus amigos y anhelan regresar a su manera despreocupada de vivir. Llena de situaciones cómicas y impregnada de un hondo lirismo, esta historia clásica acertadamente captura el estilo de vida de los paisanos.

Steinbeck's tough yet charming portrait of people on the margins of society, dependant on one another for both physical and emotional survival Unburdened by the material necessities of the more fortunate, the denizens of Cannery Row discover rewards unknown in more traditional society. Henry the painter sorts through junk lots for pieces of wood to incorporate into the boat he is building, while the girls from Dora Flood’s bordello venture out now and then to enjoy a bit of sunshine. Lee Chong stocks his grocery with almost anything a man could want, and Doc, a young marine biologist who ministers to sick puppies and unhappy souls, unexpectedly finds true love. Cannery Row is just a few blocks long, but the story it harbors is suffused with warmth, understanding, and a great fund of human values. First published in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is—both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. John Steinbeck draws on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, and interweaves their stories in this world where only the fittest survive—creating what is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works. In Cannery Row, John Steinbeck returns to the setting of Tortilla Flat to create another evocative portrait of life as it is lived by those who unabashedly put the highest value on the intangibles—human warmth, camaraderie, and love. This Steinbeck Centennial Edition features French flaps and deckled pages. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Cannery row

First published in 1945, John Steinbeck’s classic novel Cannery Row paints a picture of West Coast neighborhood life in the era following the Great Depression. Mack, the leader of a group of local bums, decides that he wants to do something nice for Doc, a marine biologist and neighborhood genius, so he throws Doc a party in his lab. When Doc returns home—late because he was doing research on the seashore—the party is already over and his lab has been trashed. Ashamed of the mess they’ve made, Mack and his friends make another attempt at celebrating Doc, this time with more success. A series of vignettes, introducing other residents such as Lee Chong, the Chinese grocer who extends credit to help Mack with his party, and Dora, the kind-hearted madam of the local brothel, complements the main story and offers a rich panorama of life on Cannery Row.

With Billy Buck, the hired hand, Jody tends and trains his horse, restlessly anticipating the moment he will sit high upon Gabilan's saddle. But when Gabilan falls ill, Jody discovers there are still lessons he must learn about the ways of nature and, particularly, the ways of man

A Penguin ClassicIn his only work of political satire, The Short Reign of Pippin IV, John Steinbeck turns the French Revolution upside down as amateur astronomer Pippin Héristal is drafted to rule the unruly French. Steinbeck creates around the infamous Pippin the most hilarious royal court ever: Pippin’s wife, Queen Marie, who “might have taken her place at the bar of a very good restaurant”; his uncle, a man of dubious virtue; his glamour-struck daughter and her beau, the son of the so-called “egg king” of Petaluma, California; and a motley crew of courtiers and politicians, guards and gardeners. This edition includes an introduction by Robert Morsberger and Katharine Morsberger.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
