The Grapes of Wrath is John Steinbeck's humor, published in 1939. Awarded Pulitzer Prize in the nomination "For the art book." Included in many academic programs of US schools and colleges. In 1940 it was translated into Russian.

Because of the detailed depiction of hard life, it was originally removed from the libraries of New York, St. Louis, Kansas City and Buffalo. Ireland banned the book The Grapes of Wrath in 1953, the Canadian city of Morris - in 1982. Because of the use of vulgar words in the 1970-80s. The novel was banned in some US schools. The novel The Grapes of Wrath takes place during the Great Depression. The poor family of tenant farmers, Jouda, is forced to leave her home in Oklahoma due to drought, economic difficulties and changes in the principles of farming. In an almost desperate situation, they are sent to California, along with thousands of other Oki families, hoping to find a livelihood there. The summer of 1936 Steinbeck spent among seasonal workers in California. He collected material for a series of articles and essays under the general title "Gypsies of the harvest period". Everything I saw shocked the writer. It turned out that the overwhelming number of seasonal workers are not aliens from Mexico, but ordinary American citizens. Pictures of the miserable existence of the seasonal workers did not go out of their heads, he decided to write a new book about them, he would call her "The Cases of the Salad City". But the work progressed slowly. It will be another three years. Steinbeck will make more than one trip to the seasonal camps, ride a car on their way from Oklahoma to California, before he writes a book, which in the final version will be called The Grapes of Wrath.
