Story
In Monterey, on the California coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday, which is one of those days that is just naturally bad. Returning to the scene of Cannery Row, the weedy lots and junk heaps and flophouses of Monterey, John Steinbeck once more brings to life the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears—from Fauna, new headmistress of the local brothel, to Hazel, a bum whose mother must have wanted a daughter.

Story
Each working day from January 29 to November 1, 1951, John Steinbeck warmed up to the work of writing East of Eden with a letter to the late Pascal Covici, his friend and editor at The Viking Press. It was his way, he said, of "getting my mental arm in shape to pitch a good game". Part autobiography, part writer's workshop, these letters offer an illuminating perspective on Steinbeck's creative process, and a fascinating glimpse of Steinbeck, the private man.

The novelist who wrote The Grapes of Wrath and the director who produced Crisis and Lights Out in Europe combined their superb talents to tell the story of the coming of modern medicine to the natives of Mexico. There have been several notable examples of this pen-camera method of narration, but The Forgotten Village is unique among them in that the text was written before a single picture was shot.

Story
The last of John Steinbeck's play-novelettes,
Burning Bright was the author's final attempt after 1937's
Of Mice and Men and 1942's
The Moon is Down to create what he saw as a new, experimental literary form. Four scenes, four people: the husband who yearns for a son, ignorant of his own sterility; the wife who commits adultery to fulfill her husband's wish; the father of the child; and the outsider whose actions will affect them all.

Story
In his only work of political satire, The Short Reign of Pippin IV, John Steinbeck turns the French Revolution upside down as amateur astronomer Pippin Héristal is drafted to rule the unruly French. Steinbeck creates around the infamous Pippin the most hilarious royal court ever: Pippin's wife, Queen Marie, who "might have taken her place at the bar of a very good restaurant"; his uncle, a man of dubious virtue; and his glamour-struck daughter and her beau, the son of the so-called "egg king" of Petaluma, California.

Story
John Steinbeck (1902-1968) was the winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature. The novella Of Mice and Men (1937) is the story of two migrant field workers in California during the Great Depression. Two friends, George Milton and the strong but simple-minded Lennie Small, share a dream of owning their own piece of land. When they get jobs on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfilment of their dream seems to be within reach. Then tragedy strikes. The themes include kindness, the bonds of friendship, and the cruelty of this world.

On the heels of the enormous success of his masterwork The Grapes of Wrath, and at the height of the American war effort, John Steinbeck, one of the most prolific and influential literary figures of his generation, wrote Bombs Away, a nonfiction account of his experiences with US Army Air Force bomber crews during World War II. Now, for the first time since its original publication in 1942, Penguin Classics presents this exclusive edition of Steinbeck's introduction to the then-nascent US Army Air Force and its bomber crew.

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.

Scenen er Cannery Row i Monterey, Californien. Doc er gået i stå: indehaveren af Vestkystens Biologiske Laboratorium er vendt rastløs og desillusioneret hjem fra 2. verdenskrig. Hans videnskab ligger stille, han gider knap nok se til sine blæksprutter og klapperslanger. Men så beslutter Docs venner at tage affære. Dagdriverne fra Ungkarlehjemmet "Palace" og pigerne fra byens ikke helt almindelige bordel "The Bear Flag" slår sig sammen og skaffer Doc det mikroskop, der bringer hans forskning videre og tilmed skaffer ham en ung og herlig kone.

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.
