Las uvas de la ira (Premio Nobel de Literatura 1962) / The Grapes of Wrath

Posiblemente haya que huir del infierno para descubrir que no existe la tierra prometida.

Forzados por la sequía y el acoso de los bancos, los Joad, una familia de granjeros de la Oklahoma rural y empobrecida de los años treinta, emprenden un atribulado éxodo a lo largo de la carretera 66 con la intención de buscar trabajo y una vida digna en california. Si atrás dejan campos asolados por las tormentas de polvo, en el camino sólo encuentran penuria, hambre, hostilidad en los pueblos por los que pasan... Pero ni las advertencias de quienes regresan, pobres y desengañados, ni la muerte y la progresiva desintegración de la familia, bastan para que cejen en su empeño. Y, en su afán de supervivencia, conservan la entereza y la dignidad frente a la miseria moral de quienes se aprovechan de la miseria real.
