Cevap:

John Steinbeck, one of the most powerful writers of world literature and the master writer of epic novels, this time to the most difficult and refined type of narrative; turns to the story. Passing through the hills, canyons and small towns of the Salinas valley, he again succeeds in creating universal themes from the small, simple worlds of ordinary people. Sad but hopeful, lonely but persistent characters of 1930s America; While grappling with the contradictions between city and country, past and future, Steinbeck, with his usual meticulousness, turns the projection to the reader rather than to the literature and directs it to another kind of questioning. The stories, which reflect the relationship of man with the geography, time and space in which he lives, open the doors of distant, different and similar worlds, sometimes with the name of a flower and sometimes with a small description. This compilation, which includes award-winning stories and salutes the legendary Southern Gothic, was published in 1938 for the first time in Turkish without losing anything of its currency.
