John Steinbeck (1902-1968) realizó diversos oficios (peón agrícola, empleado de laboratorio, albañil y vigilante nocturno) para costearse sus estudios en la Universidad de Stanford. Su obra constituye un gran fresco de los conflictos sociales y económicos de la vida rural del Sur de los Estados Unidos y una permanente búsqueda de valores en un mundo crecientemente deshumanizado. En 1962 fue galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura.
