Synopsis
Steinbeck's tough yet charming portrait of people on the margins of society, dependant on one another for both physical and emotional survival A Penguin Classic Published in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. Drawing on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, including longtime friend Ed Ricketts, Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc, Dora, Mack and his boys, Lee Chong, and the other characters in this world where only the fittest survive, to create a novel that is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works. In her introduction, Susan Shillinglaw shows how the novel expresses, both in style and theme, much that is essentially Steinbeck: "Scientific detachment, empathy toward the lonely and depressed . . . and, at the darkest level . . . the terror of isolation and nothingness." For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,800 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators., Steinbeck's tough yet charming portrait of people on the margins of society, dependant on one another for both physical and emotional survival A Penguin Classic Published in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is : both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual.

    Item received 3/20 in great condition! You get very POSITIVE feedback! Your part of the transaction was great, BUT the USPS really "dropped the ball," or in this case, the package. They misrouted it twice. I'm an old (retired) USPS clerk and found their performance way below par. Please tell them for me "Shame! Shame! Richard

    A life changing experiance, Highly recommend

    I first read this book in High School back in the 70's. This, and other Steinbeck novels, helped me start looking at people, who were different than myself, as individual people, not just as a member of whatever group I was linking them with. I found Cannery Row to be one of the pieces that helped open my eyes, and my heart, to the diversity of mankind, something we could use a little more of these days. Steinbeck is one of the greatest American authors, and Cannery Row is one of his finest works. Highly recommend this book.

    Compelling read

    Happy to find this gem from John Steinbeck . Steinbeck is a very compelling author it's understandable how he won the Nobel for literature.

    John Steinbeck wrote this short novel to uplift America in a time of challenges.

    The book was just what I needed for a book club read. It was a good bargain and the service was excellent.

    Not Good

    This book was pretty beat up. Not the usual shape you usually get.
