Notes

General Note
"First published ... in Woman's home companion as 'The pearl of the world' [in] 1945 ; first published by The Viking Press [in] 1947"--Copyright page.
Description
"Based on a Mexican folk tale, The Pearl explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love"--P. [4] of cover.
Description
Annotation: For the diver Kino, finding a magnificent pearl means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dreams blind him to the greed that the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors. Baring the fallacy of the American dream-that wealth erases all problems-Steinbeck's classic illustrates our fall from innocence.
