鲍勃最喜爱的作家就是史坦贝克,他对《愤怒的葡萄》这本小说十分着迷,就写了一篇长达15页与其相关的文章。
One of Steinbeck's best known novels, this story has made it onto many book lists and English literature reading lists for its Pulitzer Prize. It should be known for its classic American themes of determination in the face of crippling discouragement, its vast descriptions of families caught in the teeth of the 1930's Depression, and a tenacious insistence on clinging to life. The Joad family survives a stop-and-go movement toward the golden shores of California, one family member's prison background, and economic instability – but not without a cost. The benefit of self-sacrifice comes through in Ma and Rosasharn, Jim Casy provides gritty life philosophy, and the characters without names provide arich tapestry of background.
作为史坦贝克的代表作之一,这本书被列入了许多书目和英国文学阅读清单,并获得了普利策奖。该书以面对困难百折不挠的经典美式主题而广为人知,讲述了在1930年美国经济危机时,一家人为了生存而作出的顽强奋斗。约德一家人从逃亡加利福利亚黄金海岸的断断续续的运动中幸存下来,一个家庭成员还入过狱,以及经济上也不稳定,也付出过代价。玛和罗萨身上体现了自我牺牲的可贵之处,吉姆卡西体现了坚韧不拔的人生哲学,文中许多无名的角色则反映了丰富的时代背景。
