Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a poor diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant son with meager subsistence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino emerges from the sea with a pearl as large as a sea gull's egg, as "perfect as the moon." With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and of security....

Anything Steinbeck...
I've read and reread Steinbeck countless times. The Pearl is one of his finest works. I'm not going to discuss the content because it is Steinbeck and one must read it! The book is laid out well with an excellent easy-to-read font style. It is a pocket book, just the right size to drop into one's purse. Easy to hold while sipping a cup of coffee.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
