Description
THE PEARL is Steinbeck's flawless parable about wealth and the evil it can bring. When Kino, an Indian pearl-diver, finds 'the Pearl of the world' he believes that his life will be magically transformed. He will marry Juana in church and their little boy, Coyotito, will be able to attend school. Obsessed by his dreams, Kino is blind to the greed, fear and even violence the pearl arouses in him and his neighbours. Haunting and lyrical, THE PEARL sets the values of the civilized world against those of the primitive and finds them tragically inadequate.

**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.
