Synopsis
A Penguin Classic Written at a time of profound anxiety caused by the illness of his mother, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck draws on his memories of childhood in these stories about a boy who embodies both the rebellious spirit and the contradictory desire for acceptance of early adolescence. Unlike most coming-of-age stories, the cycle does not end with a hero "matured" by circumstances. As John Seelye writes in his introduction, reversing common interpretations, The Red Pony is imbued with a sense of loss. Jody's encounters with birth and death express a common theme in Steinbeck's fiction: They are parts of the ongoing process of life, "resolving" nothing. The Red Pony was central not only to Steinbeck's emergence as a major American novelist but to the shaping of a distinctly mid twentieth-century genre, opening up a new range of possibilities about the fictional presence of a child's world. This edition contains an introduction by John Seelye. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 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.

This is an honest and above board seller.

  • Great book, awful introduction.

    The novella, itself, is as wonderful as Steinbeck always has been and is. The introduction in this edition by Floridian, John Seelye, tries very hard to convince the reader that Steinbeck was not in favor of FDR, The New Deal and the WPA. Seelye was a poor choice to write an introduction to this novella. His introduction shows that he really does not understand the story or know much (if anything) about Steinbeck. Upon further investigation of Seelye, I find that one of the things he is most known for is "The True Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". This is a rewriting of the Twain classic which Seelye felt entitled to rewrite to make Huck softer and more likeable and sympathetic, thus crushing Twain's point and message, and no doubt white-washing the story. It seems Seelye used every ...
