“How can you scare a person who can feel hunger not only in his own stomach but also in the bellies of his children?”
What did I read... Oh my God; Poverty, drama, misery, cruelty, hunger, despair, rebellion...
The wonderful author, John Steinbeck, whose two books I have read before...
It is a legendary novel that tells the story of the struggle for survival of thousands of people who were impoverished by the capitalist system's capture of agriculture during America's depression period and whose lands were taken by banks.
I traveled with a family as they migrated from their land. I felt the earth, I smelled the air, I drove the truck. Sometimes I thought like Tom, sometimes I felt like a Father... Most of the time I felt like a strong mother. Especially the last thing the pregnant girl did was admirable. I had never thought of such an ending. I rebelled against the capitalist order with all my soul. I felt the joys of hopes turned into sadness in every cell of my body. In one word, it was great.
I liked it very much, I will read it again. It's up to you, I wish you a pleasant reading.
