\u00a0The Grapes of Wrath<\/strong><\/p>\n Author: John Steinbeck<\/p>\n ISBN:\u00a09780230031050<\/p>\n The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized\u2014and sometimes outraged\u2014millions of readers.<\/p>\n First published in 1939, Steinbeck\u2019s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads\u2014driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity.\u00a0A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man\u2019s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman\u2019s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America.\u00a0At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck\u2019s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/strong><\/p>\n Author: Victor Hugo<\/p>\n ISBN:\u00a09780194794404<\/p>\n One of the most widely read novels of all time,\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/i>\u00a0was the crowning literary achievement of\u00a0Victor Hugo\u2019s stunning career. Though he was considered the greatest French writer of his day, Hugo was forced to flee the country because of his opposition to Napoleon III. While in exile he completed\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/i>, an enormous melodrama set against the background of political upheaval in France following the rule of Napoleon I.<\/p>\n Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/i>\u00a0tells the story of the peasant Jean Valjean\u2014unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert. As Valjean struggles to redeem his past, we are thrust into the teeming underworld of Paris with all its poverty, ignorance, and suffering. Just as cruel tyranny threatens to extinguish the last vestiges of hope, rebellion sweeps over the land like wildfire, igniting a vast struggle for the democratic ideal in France.<\/p>\n A monumental classic dedicated to the oppressed, the underdog, the laborer, the rebel, the orphan, and the misunderstood,\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/i>\u00a0is a rich, emotional novel that captures nothing less than the entirety of life in nineteenth-century France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0The Grapes of Wrath Author: John Steinbeck ISBN:\u00a09780230031050 The Pulitzer …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3483,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[731],"tags":[182,1350,1443,824,556,555,1448,325,823,624],"class_list":["post-3482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-whichbookwouldyouread-bookoftheweek-themes-themeoftheweek-quotes-inspirationalquotes","tag-english-book-in-georgia","tag-february-2015","tag-john-steinbeck","tag-les-miserables","tag-macmillan-readers","tag-oxford-bookworms","tag-the-grapes-of-wrath","tag-theme-of-the-week","tag-victor-hugo","tag-which-book-would-you-read","cat_731"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3482"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3486,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482\/revisions\/3486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.eltbooks.com\/cover\/9780194794404.jpg\")
