Like the book, the film, which won an Oscar for director John Ford and starred Henry Fonda, has become a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Ten years after the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, Steinbeck created a lasting manifesto focusing on the struggle of the excluded. \u003cem\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/em\u003e represents the confrontation between individual and society, through the epic story of the Joad family, driven by drought from the cotton fields of Oklahoma to try to survive as seasonal workers on the fruit plantations of California's Salinas Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWinner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962, Steinbeck portrayed the plight of modern man facing hardship, poverty, and deprivation in a fierce world dominated by victims of competition and social outcasts. By witnessing human weaknesses in the face of a ruthless economic system, we encounter situations replete with drama. The text's realism, with strong naturalistic overtones, exposes the writer as an experimenter with innovative narrative techniques, rich in symbolism and mythic elaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e As American as he is universal, Steinbeck displays in life and art irreducible paradoxes, provoked by the tension between instinct and mind, nature and history, civilization and its discontents. \u003cem\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/em\u003e is proof that men in ordinary places and situations can be exchanged for epic intention and led to immortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e From the blurb by Pedro Pacífico, Bookster:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e“ \u003cem\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/em\u003e is [...] a read to be taken slowly, appreciating the complexity of the characters and Steinbeck's construction of diverse narrative layers.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159641506044,"sku":"9786555874235","price":76.41,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c705f10171b2476b7edfc320ff6b94cf_1c8e71d7-ef8e-444e-8f93-bdfdcba0e951.jpg?v=1778324336","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/as-vinhas-da-ira","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
