Synopsis "La Perla (in Spanish)"

Este libro trata diversos temas relacionados con la mayoría de los pobres. De pescadores que se ganan la vida de esta manera para poder alimentar a sus familias. De la búsqueda de riquezas como las perlas para poder venderlas y obtener un poco de dinero. De la injusticia que se comete cuando un hombre se defiende de otro matándole y es culpado de un asesinato que en realidad fue involuntario. También trata el tema de lo que puede pensar un hombre sin recursos para el futuro, como por ejemplo, poder casarse, labrar una seguridad para su hijo y poder vivir feliz con su familia sin nada que le preocupe. El tema de la supervivencia del hombre y de la lucha entre el perseguidor y el perseguido, y cómo el uno y el otro tratan, de atrapar a su presa y de huir de éste o, como en el caso de Kino, de acabar con su perseguidor para poder ser libre.

View Author's Page
John Steinbeck (1902- 1968) was born in Salinas, California. He studied at Stanford University and during his youth worked as a laborer and fruit picker. His first success was Tortilla Flat (1935), a story between picaresque and romantic about Mexican immigrants settled around Monterey (California). In 1936, he wrote a series of seven reports for The San Francisco News, which he later published as The Harvest Gypsies. In 1939, his most famous work appeared: The Grapes of Wrath (Pulitzer Prize 1940), which tells the sad story of a family from the impoverished state of Oklahoma that migrates to California during the economic depression of the thirties; this work, received as a moving document of social protest, was adapted into a film by John Ford in 1940. Among his extensive literary work are also the novels Of Mice and Men (1936), The Pearl (1947) and East of Eden (1962), and screenplays for movies, such as the one he wrote for Viva Zapata! by Elia Kazan. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Novela corta que se desarrolla en un puerto de México. La pobreza y la avaricia son los temas principales, y también el azar, favorable a veces y otras desastroso. Me gusta cómo narra Steinbeck, pero el final me resulta demasiado casual.

Espectacular novela corta que nos permite reflexionar sobre cómo la vida se puede ver desde distintas perspectivas y como la avaricia y la injusticia superan muchas veces a la propia humanidad.
