About the book

'Steinbeck at the top of his form' New York Times

'In the town they tell the story of the great pearl - how it was found and how it was lost again. They tell of Kino, the fisherman, and of his wife, Juana, and of the baby, Coyotito. And because the story has been told so often, it has taken root in every man's mind.'

The Pearl is Steinbeck's heartbreaking short parable about wealth and the darkness and evil it can instill in even the most generous of men's hearts. This edition features a stunning new cover by renowned artist Bijou Karman.

'[The Pearl] has the distinction and sincerity that are evident in everything he writes' New Yorker

'There is no more impressive writer on either side of the Atlantic' Time and Tide

'Steinbeck is to be judged by the highest standards' New York Herald Tribune

Was Reichtum aus uns macht…
Ein wunderschön einfaches Buch der aber so genau auf dem Punkt bringt was Reichtum mit guten Menschen machen kann und wie schnell wir uns im „Haben“ verlieren können! Das ist mein erstes Buch von Steinbeck und ich freue mich auf seine weiteren Werke! Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn auch etwas Gewöhnungsbedürftig in der heutigen Lesewelt! Umso mehr finde ich solche Bücher und Themen von Wichtigkeit und Notwendigkeit! Ich hoffe sehr men Kind wird das irgendwann lesen und ihre Lehren daraus ziehen können. 🙏🏻

**WARING THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS** This book was so good it just shows you how Kino was searching for a Pearl to prevent his son from dying but what the Pearl did to him was make him lose everything he had and kill his son which is the reason he was looking for a Pearl for his son not to die.
