Story
This lush, lyrical fantasy is Steinbeck's sole work of historical fiction. Henry Morgan ruled the Spanish Main in the 1670s, ravaging the coasts of Cuba and America and striking terror wherever he went. His lust and greed knew no bounds, and he was utterly consumed by two passions; to possess the mysterious woman known as La Santa Roja, the Red Saint, and to conquer Panama and wrest 'the cup of gold' from Spanish hands.

Story
Steinbeck's first posthumously published work, The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights is a reinterpretation of tales from Malory's Morte d'Arthur. In this highly successful attempt to render Malory into Modern English, Steinbeck recreated the rhythm and tone of the original Middle English.

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
Au cœur de l’Oklahoma des années 1930, les petits exploitants agricoles se font racheter de force leurs terres et se retrouvent aux abois. Mais, miracle, l’appel de la Californie retentit : ses fruits savoureux à cueillir, son coton à récolter et son grand besoin de main-d’œuvre. Toute la famille Joad se serre dans un pick-up pour atteindre cet eldorado avec le rêve d’y faire fortune. La Route 66 est longue, les dollars manquent rapidement, les grands-parents tombent malades, le véhicule les lâche...

Story
A její obyvatelé? To jsou hráči, děvky, umělci, prosťáčci i okouzlující pobudové. Zápletka prvního poválečného románu držitele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu, Johna Steinbecka, se točí kolem snahy povaleče Macka a jeho přátel překvapit všemi oblíbeného mořského biologa Doktora večírkem na jeho počest. Protože jsou ovšem bez peněz, musí si na ten tajný mejdan vydělat. A kdo jiný by jim mohl dát práci než právě Doktor. Naneštěstí se celá akce vymkne kontrole a je při ní zničen dům i vzácný gramofon jejich dobrodince.

Story
Onsdagar, ofta refererad till som veckans värsta dag, har trots allt en bra egenskap. Den följs av den underbara torsdagen. En man, Doktorn, återvänder till Monterey i Kalifornien efter andra världskrigets slut, men finner att den förut så glada platsen med de tidigare så uppsluppna människorna nu är grå, och krigstrött. Dessutom har doktorns biologiska anstalt förfallit under hans frånvaro, och han börjar känna att hans liv saknar syfte och mening.
