The Grapes of Wrath (1983 Franklin Library edition) by John Steinbeck is a luxuriously bound tribute to the 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that chronicles the Joad family’s harrowing migration from Dust Bowl Oklahoma to California’s promised—but often cruel—land of opportunity. Steinbeck’s searing prose exposes the exploitation of migrant workers during the Great Depression, interwoven with poetic interchapters that universalize their struggle.
The Franklin Library edition elevates this American classic with full leather binding, 22-karat gold accents, and moiré silk endpapers, often accompanied by original illustrations or a scholarly preface. A collector’s gem that honors Steinbeck’s indictment of systemic injustice and his faith in human resilience.
