Author : John Steinbeck

John Ernst Steinbeck was a notable American author and the recipient of the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature, recognized for his insightful and imaginative storytelling that blends humor with sharp social commentary. Often hailed as "a giant of American letters," Steinbeck wrote 33 books throughout his career, which include 16 novels, six non-fiction works, and two collections of short stories. His renowned works encompass the comic novels *Tortilla Flat* (1935) and *Cannery Row* (1945), the sweeping saga *East of Eden* (1952), and beloved novellas like *The Red Pony* (1933) and *Of Mice and Men* (1937). His Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, *The Grapes of Wrath* (1939), remains a cornerstone of American literature, having sold over 14 million copies by its 75th anniversary. Much of Steinbeck's writing is rooted in the landscapes of central California, particularly the Salinas Valley, exploring themes of fate and social injustice through the experiences of everyday individuals.
