Synopsis
A Penguin Classic Ancient pagan beliefs, the great Greek epics, and the Bible all inform this extraordinary novel by Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck, which occupied him for more than five difficult years. While fulfilling his dead father's dream of creating a prosperous farm in California, Joseph Wayne comes to believe that a magnificent tree on the farm embodies his father's spirit. His brothers and their families share in Joseph's prosperity, and the farm flourishes--until one brother, frightened by Joseph's pagan belief, kills the tree, allowing disease and famine to descend on the farm. Set in familiar Steinbeck country, To a God Unknown is a mystical tale, exploring one man's attempt to control the forces of nature and, ultimately, to understand the ways of God and the forces of the unconscious within. This edition features an introduction and notes by Steinbeck scholar Robert DeMott. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 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.

    Item is in excellent condition, as described. The only thing I didn't like & is very important. It was a DVD inside it's case however it was shipped in a plain white plastic non bubble wrap envelope. I could also hear the actual DVD jiggling around inside it's case before opening it. Thankfully it wasn't cracked, damaged but whoever packed this shipment should have made sure the actual DVD was securely "locked" on the center spindle on the inside of the DVD casing itself. A- seller. 👍🏻👍🏻

    Great seller! Book condition was better than described. Had questions that were responded to quickly and they pulled the book for photos for me. Packed and shipped safely and received very fast.

    My Harry Potter 8 Film Collection arrived on time, well packaged, the correct version I wanted and was in even better condition than described. I have bought DVDs from many Goodwill locations all around the US many times and always a wonderful experience. I have bought from Goodwill_of_OC quite a few times. Every time a DVD comes from them it is a great experience! I highly recommend all Goodwill locations in US as Seller!!

  • No one is better than Steinbeck

    I read my first Steinbeck East of Eden..and I knewi had to read everything he ever wrote because he is the most talented writer he has the ability to put emotions into words like no other. You must read this book!

  • Fantastic read

    As a Steinbeck fan I have to say this book did not disappoint. It's the only time in his career he delved into such issues as pagan nature worship etc. It was a fantastic read . John Steinbeck was a master storyteller.
