Description

The classic novella from Nobel Prize-winner John Steinbeck explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love.

Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a poor diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant son with meager subsistence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino emerges from the sea with a pearl as large as a sea gull's egg, as "perfect as the moon." With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and of security....

**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.

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. 🙏🏻

Bißchen plakativ und klischeehaft erzählt. Muß man mögen.
