It
is
a literary journey without borders. Each episode explores a work,
an author or a literary current from different corners of the planet.
Because books are also passports, and each story brings us closer to
different cultures, languages and realities.
Precisely, and because of what we are going through, I bring you this work by John Steinbeck.
It is set in the 1930s, when the United States suffers a great economic crisis after the crash of 29. It describes the process by which small agricultural producers are expelled from their lands due to changes in the conditions of exploitation of the same and are forced to emigrate to California, where the type of agriculture requires labor during the harvest. Specifically, it narrates the difficulties of the Joad family in their exodus from Oklahoma to California in search of better living conditions. Steinbeck exalts the values of justice and human dignity in a North America that is experiencing a period of profound economic and political injustice.
