Story
'There is only one book to a man,' Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden, his most ambitious novel. Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley, California, this powerful, often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations hopelessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here Steinbeck created some of his most memorable characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity; the inexplicability of love and the murderous consequences of love's absence.

Story
Shocking and controversial when it was first published, The Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's Pultizer Prize-winning epic of the Joad family, forced to travel west from Dust Bowl-era Oklahoma in search of the promised land of California. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires and powerlessness, yet out of their struggle Steinbeck created a drama that is both intensely human and majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Story
Both a fast-paced story of social unrest and strike, and the tale of one young man's struggle for identity, In Dubious Battle is a novel about the apocalyptic violence that breaks out when the masses become the mob. Set in California apple country, a strike by migrant workers spirals out of control as principled defiance turns into blind fanaticism. Caught in this upheaval is Jim Nolan, a once aimless man who finds himself briefly becoming the leader of the strike before being crushed in its service.

Story
Øst for paradis (1952) er Steinbecks store dramatiske slægtsroman over tre generationer, hvor det gode kæmper mod det onde, som det er skildret i myten om Kain og Abel. I Steinbecks fortælling gentages kampen i to generationers brødrepar. I første generation er Charles i misundelse og ondskab tæt på at slå sin bror Adam ihjel. I anden generation følger vi brødrene Aaron og Caleb, der er sønner af Adam og den forførende, men dæmonisk ondsindede Cathy.

Story
Vredens druvor är en modern vandringssägen från 1930-talet om Oklahomas skuldsatta bönder, som drivs bort från sin jord och som lockas av reklamen till Kalifornien, där de utnyttjas skamlöst och slutar som arbetslösa och hemlösa på landsvägen. Romanens storhet kommer från Steinbecks äkta indignation och inlevelse i de fattiga böndernas öden samt hans tro på människans värdighet och vilja till överlevnad genom gemensam hjälp till och med under de svåraste förhållandena.

Story
På rejse med Charley er en rejsebeskrivelse af en rundrejse i USA i 1960, som Steinbeck foretog i en autocamper sammen med sin puddelhund Charley. Steinbeck skrev, at han var drevet af et ønske om at genopdage sit hjemland, eftersom han tjente til livets ophold ved at skrive om det. Han følte sig ude af berøring med det moderne USA efter i tyve år at have boet i New York og rejst rundt i Europa, og han ønskede bl.a. at finde ud af, hvordan den moderne amerikaner var.
