Ethan Allen Hawley has lost the acquisitive spirit of his wealthy and enterprising forebears, a long line of proud New England sea captains and Pilgrims. Scarred by failure, Ethan works as a grocery clerk in a store his family once owned. But his wife is restless, his teenage children troubled and hungry for the material comforts he cannot provide. Then a series of unusual events reignites Ethan's ambition, and he is pitched on to a bold course where all scruples are put aside. Steinbeck's searing examination of the evil influences of money, immorality, greed and ambition on America drew acclaim from the Nobel Committee who hailed him as an 'independent expounder of the truth'.

Genial

A história toda nos envolve em uma discussão moral muito profunda. O que parecemos ser e o que realmente somos. A honestidade. A ética.
Cada capítulo traz um conflito que pode ser analisado sob esse foco, mas é no final que tudo se encaixa. As últimas páginas são simplesmente impressionantes e nos levam a repensar os fatos desde o início, reavaliar os personagens e rever conceitos.

Um livro sobre valores e moral, cujo objetivo é alcançado com maestria.

Genial.
