Steinbeck's tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America's most widely read and beloved novels. While the powerlessness of the laboring class is a recurring theme in Steinbeck's work of the late 1930s, he narrowed his focus when composing Of Mice and Men (1937), creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. But though the scope is narrow, the theme is universal: a friendship and shared dream that make an individual's existence meaningful. Of Mice and Men also represents an experiment in form, which Steinbeck described as "a kind of playable novel, written in a novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands." A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films.

4.5 Review: Of Mice and Men
Ok, I think I’m traumatized now! Believe it or not, I read this book for the first time without knowing much about the story or anything about how it ended. There was enough foreshadowing that I felt pretty sure something horrible would happen by the end, but it ended up being a bit beyond what I h...

5.0 Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
What can I say about a book like this? More to the point, what can I say that hasn't already been said? I highly doubt I can add anything original, but I can tell you what I thought. I fell in love with the work of Steinbeck when I read and loved Grapes of Wrath. Although that was very different i...

4.0 Uomini e topi
E'un racconto duro e carico di sofferenza. In poche pagine Steinbeck ha tracciato la vita i sogni e le sofferenze dei braccianti in California intorno agli anni '30. Anche se molto breve, ci ho messo qualche giorno a finirlo proprio per l'amarezza e il senso di impotenza contro un destino segnato ch...
