The novel portrays the horrors of the Great Depression and inquires into the very nature of justice and equality in America. A story that is intimately human yet magnificent in scope and moral vision, elemental but blunt, tragic but ultimately uplifting in its human dignity, emerges from their struggles and recurrent collisions with the harsh reality of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots. The Joads, an Oklahoma farm family, are driven from their homestead and compelled to move west to the promised land of California. The Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s is covered in Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, which was first published in 1939. The epic history of the Great Depression won the Pulitzer Prize and inspired (and occasionally infuriated) millions of readers.
