Of Mice and Men
de John Steinbeck
Penguin Books, 1994, 107 p. (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)
In this parade of commitment, loneliness, hope and loss, John Steinbeck has created a powerful and moving portrayal of two men striving to understand their unique place in the world. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place of their own. Eventually, they find work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley. Yet, their hopes are doomed as Lennie, struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy, becomes a victim of his own strengh.
