About this product
Product Information
A stunning new series look for one of the greatest writers of the 20th century in Penguin Modern Classics THE PEARL is Steinbeck's flawless parable about wealth and the evil it can bring. When Kino, an Indian pearl-diver, finds 'the Pearl of the world' he believes that his life will be magically transformed. He will marry Juana in church and their little boy, Coyotito, will be able to attend school. Obsessed by his dreams, Kino is blind to the greed, fear and even violence the pearl arouses in him and his neighbours. Written with haunting simplicty and lyrical simplicity, THE PEARL sets the values of the civilized world against those of the primitive and finds them tragically inadequate.Product Identifiers

A short title, and story - but definitely worth reading.
I've read this story before, and really enjoyed it. My previous copy of this book, was dropping in bits, with some pages missing. So had to get another copy, which arrived quickly, and in good condition. Happy with this purchase. Great. Thank you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
