Pearl

The works of John Steinbeck, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature, in which he masterfully portrays the social and human issues of our age, are among the masterpieces of modern world literature. As Tomris Uyar stated in her introduction, "He sang the song of real hope in all its glory at a moment in history when the hope of human beings and their resistance to existence were diluted. A realistic hope that is not rosy." For this reason, his works have never lost their currency as well as their literary value.

Inspired by a Mexican folk tale, The Pearl tells the story of a poor pearl hunter, Kino, and his family, living in a bay that once brought great riches to the King of Spain. The unprecedented pearl that Kino took from the sea, where he dived in the hope of saving his child, will bring not only hope but also destruction. The essence of the pearl is the essence of people; The Song of Pearl, which rings in Kino's ears and spreads throughout the town, will mix with the song of family, evil, hope and hostility.
Steinbeck sheds light on the world we live in and the human drama with the pearl that Kino pulls out from the depths.
