This novel is a small masterpiece of classic world literature by John Steinbeck, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962. He is the author of "The Grapes of Wrath," "The Winter of Our Discontent," and "Of Mice and Men," among other novels and short stories. This novel tells the story of a Mexican pearl diver who, while fishing one day, finds the largest pearl in the world. However, instead of becoming rich, leaving behind the poverty he lives in, and enjoying happiness, he loses happiness, dreams, and hope for a better life—and almost everything! A simple story full of symbolism and sorrow, like folk tales and folklore traditions, crafted by Steinbeck with outstanding literary genius in a magnificent artistic form.
