Story
Jody Tiflin has the urge for rebellion, but he also wants to be loved. In The Red Pony, Jody begins to learn about adulthood - its pain, its responsibilities and its problems - through his acceptance of his father's gifts. First he is given a red pony, and later he is promised the colt of a bay mare. Yet both of these gifts bring him tragedy as well as joy, and Jody is taught not only the harsh lessons of life and death, but made painfully aware of the fallibility of adults.

Story
This classic collection of short stories serves as the ideal introduction to Steinbeck's work. Set in the idyllic Salinas Valley in California, where simple people farm the land and struggle to find a place for themselves in the world, these stories reflect many of the concerns key to Steinbeck as a writer: the tensions between town and city, labourers and owners, past and present. Included here are the celebrated tales 'The Murderer' and 'The Chrysanthemums'.

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
En Californie, pendant la Grande Crise, Lennie et George vont de ferme en ferme. Ils louent leurs bras en attendant le jour où ils auront leur ferme à eux, avec un petit bout de luzerne pour élever des lapins. Lennie, malgré sa taille de colosse, n'a pas plus de malice qu'un enfant de six ans ; George veille sur lui, le protège du monde qui n'est pas tendre aux innocents. Le soir, ils se racontent leur rêve, celui de la maison et des lapins. Mais allez savoir pourquoi, les rêves de certains finissent toujours en cauchemars.

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.

En skjebnesvanger dag blir Coyotito stukket av en skorpion, og foreldrene hans tar ham med til byen slik at han kan bli undersøkt av en lege. Legen lar dem i klare vendinger få vite at behandlingen hans ikke er gratis og at det egentlig er under hans verdighet å behandle et indianerbarn. Samme dag finner Kino en kjempestor og kostbar perle som vekker håp om økonomisk trygghet.
