    Extractions: John Steinbeck 1962 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech I thank the Swedish Academy for finding my work worthy of this highest honor. In my heart there may be doubt that I deserve the Nobel Award over other men of letters whom I hold in respect or reverencebut there is no question of my pleasure and pride in having it for myself. It is customary for the recipient of this award to offer scholarly or personal comment on the nature and direction of literature. However, I think it would be well at this particular time to consider the high duties and responsibilities of the makers of literature. Such is the prestige of the Nobel Award and of this place where I stand that I am impelled, not to speak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession and in the great and good men who have practised it through the ages. Literature was not promulgated by a pale and emasculated critical priesthood singing their litanies in empty churchesnor is it a game for the cloistered elect, the tin-horn mendicants of low-calorie despair.

    Extractions: This wonderful novella tells the ineffably sad tale of two itinerant farm laborers in Depression California. George Milton is a small wiry man, his traveling companion, Lennie Small, is a giant, but a simpleton. The two travel from farm to farm, one step ahead of trouble as Lennie's incredible strength and feeble brain continually land them in trouble. Other farm hands are struck by the rarity of finding such men traveling as partners, but Lennie and George have a dream, a dream of a better life. As soon as they can raise $600 they can buy a farm and be their own bosses and Lennie will get to raise the rabbits that he loves, but has a tendency to accidentally crush. Unfortunately, trouble awaits at the farm where they are headed. The ranch owner's son, Curley, can't control his new bride who has "the eye" or his own temper which flares up whenever she starts flirting with the hired hands. This is one of those books you had to read in 9th grade, largely because it was by a famous author and it's short enough that teachers figure students might actually finish it. If you haven't read it since, give it another try. The relationship between George and Lennie is one of the most beautiful, and oft imitated, in all of literature and the themes of love, friendship, loyalty, courage and the dream of a better life are both timeless and compelling.

    Extractions: This book reads like a howl of pain from a man who did not like where he saw his country headed. Sadly, no one was listening. Ethan's wife, Mary, and his two children, Ellen and Allen, push him to better the family's lot. Mary, for instance, wants him to invest the $6000 she inherited upon her brother's death. The ease with which the morally upright Ethan slips into a life of scheming and crime is not particularly believable. And I'll leave it to others to question the likelihood of a college graduate turned grocery clerk (lawyer/technicians shouldn't throw stones.) However, Steinbeck had clearly perceived the general decline in morality that was occuring and accelerating as the nation entered the 1960's. As Ethan considers his schemes, he says, "A crime is something someone else commits". Here's his description of the year 1960: it was "a year when secret fears come into the open, when discontent stops being dormant and changes gradually to anger. The whole world stirred with restlessness and uneasiness as discontent moved to anger and anger tried to find outlet in action, any action so long as it is violent."

    Extractions: JOHN STEINBECK Author Steinbeck was one of the best-known American novelists of the mid-20th century. His frequent topic was the plight of the misfits, the homeless and the hopeless in a fast-changing America. (Those themes sometimes earned him comparisons with his contemporary William Faulkner .) Steinbeck's first novel, Cup of Gold , was published in 1929. His most celebrated book remains The Grapes of Wrath : the story of the Joads, impoverished farmers who migrate to California after losing their Oklahoma land. Published in 1939, The Grapes of Wrath won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. ( Henry Fonda played Tom Joad in the 1940 film of the novel.) Steinbeck's other books include Of Mice and Men Cannery Row (1945) and East of Eden (1952, later made into a film starring James Dean ). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962.

    Extractions: Quotes We should remember our dying and try to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world. The direction of a big act will warp history, but probably all acts do the same in their degree, down to a stone stepped over in the path or a breath caught at sight of a pretty girl or a fingernail nicked in the garden soil. East of Eden Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of man. East of Eden Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man. East of Eden And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected.

    Extractions: "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception" -The Nobel Foundation prize presentation Steinbeck's most widely known work is The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Pulitzer Prize, 1940), the stark account of the Joad family from the impoverished Oklahoma Dust Bowl and their migration to California during the economic depression of the 1930s. The controversial novel, received not only as realistic fiction but as a moving document of social protest, is an American classic. Steinbeck's other works include The Moon Is Down (1942), Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1947), East of Eden (1952), The Winter of Our Discontent (1961), and America and Americans (1966). In 1962 he wrote the popular Travels with Charley, an autobiographical account of a trip across the United States accompanied by a pet poodle. Steinbeck was awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in literature. His modernization of the Arthurian legends, The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights, was published posthumously in 1976. A major literary figure since the 1930s, Steinbeck took as his central theme the quiet dignity he saw in the poor and the oppressed. Although his characters are often trapped in an unfair world, they remain sympathetic and heroic, if defeated, human beings.

    Extractions: John Steinbeck John Steinbeck is among the most prolific and most accomplished western American novelists. He is the only western writer who has been awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, the only western novelist to have a book reach the top of the best seller list. Still, Steinbeck is not generally regarded as a typically western writer. Perhaps it is because he lived much of his life in the East and, late in his career, wrote books with neither western themes nor western settings. Or perhaps it is because he sometimes seems more than a regional writer. In many of his books he transcends region even as he writes about the West. But John Steinbeck was a western writer. His best novels and short stories are rooted in the fiber and fabric of the American West. In them, Steinbeck defines and gives meaning to what he perceives to be the unique nature of the western American experience. John Steinbeck was born on February 27, 1902, in the agricultural community of Salinas, California. He spent his childhood in the Salinas Valley, a fertile corridor of land which reaches south from Watsonville through the sleepy hamlets of Chualar, Gonzales, and Soledad to King City, and is bordered on the east by he Gabilan Mountains and on the west by the Santa Lucia Range and by the Pacific Ocean. As a young boy. Steinbeck roamed the valley, learning about it and its people. At that time, Salinas was a community of about 4,000 people, and was a principal packing and shipping center of the valley. Salinas shippers sent lettuce, celery and other vegetables north, south, and east to the major commodity markets of the West and Midwest. About the only commercial activity in Salinas was the refining of sugar beets at the Spreckles factory where Steinbeck later worked as a laborer and straw boss.

He moved to New York City in 1925, where he worked briefly as a bricklayer and reporter. Two years later, he returned to California and began his career as a novelist. By the late 1930s, Steinbeck earned both critical recognition and popular success for his populist novels, including Tortilla Flat In Dubious Battle (1936) and Of Mice and Men (1937). His writing used naturalistic language and displayed a powerful social conscience, bringing to life the everyday struggles of the poor in Depression-era America. His most famous novel, The Grapes of Wrath (1939), followed a displaced Oklahoma farm family which travels to California in desperate search for work.

    Extractions: JOHN STEINBECK Brief Biographical Sketch John Steinbeck has long been one of America's best-loved writers. With his intuitive feeling for folklore and magnificent use of the vernacular, he created works that stimulate the imagination, stir the reader's thoughts and emotions, and leave them with an awareness of life. Steinbeck's use of simple themes and his concern for common human values, combined with thoughtfulness, philosophical presence, and humor, make his works timeless. John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, on 27 February 1902. He grew up in a fertile agricultural valley about twenty five miles from the Pacific Coast-and both valley and coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he attended Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without finishing a degree. During the next five years he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City and then as a caretaker for a Lake Tahoe estate, all the time working on his first novel, Cup of Gold (1929). After his first marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two fictitious works centered in California

    Extractions: John Steinbeck Steinbeck, John Ernst (1902-1968), American writer and Nobel laureate, who described in his work the unremitting struggle of people who depend on the soil for their livelihood. Steinbeck was born on February 27, 1902, in Salinas, California, and educated at Stanford University. As a youth, he worked as a ranch hand and fruit picker. His Cup of Gold (1929) romanticizes the life and exploits of the famous 17th-century Welsh pirate Sir Henry Morgan. In The Pastures of Heaven (1932), a group of short stories depicting a community of southern California farmers, Steinbeck first dealt with the hardworking people and social themes associated with most of his works. Among his other early books are To a God Unknown (1933), the story of a farmer whose belief in a pagan fertility cult impels him, during a severe drought, to sacrifice his own life; Tortilla Flat (1935), a sympathetic portrayal of Americans of Mexican descent dwelling near Monterey, California; In Dubious Battle (1936), a novel concerned with a strike of migratory fruit pickers; and Of Mice and Men The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Pulitzer Prize, 1940), the stark account of a family from the impoverished Oklahoma Dust Bowl migrating to California during the economic depression of the 1930s. The controversial novel, received not only as realistic fiction but as a moving document of social protest, is an American classic.Other works include
