MoreJohn Steinbeck's Nobel Prize-winning tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss-now an eBook enhanced with exclusive content, including an interview with James Earl Jones, for the ultimate educational experienceAn intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness.
