John Steinbeck - A América e os Americanos

John Steinbeck was a writer committed to his time, attentive to politics, social changes, and the world around him. For thirty years, alongside his famous novels, he wrote several short non-fiction works, which were published in newspapers and magazines in his country and abroad, and through them he built a unique record of an era. This anthology brings together more than fifty of these texts, from articles that served as inspiration for the celebrated novel *The Grapes of Wrath* to his last published book, *America and the Americans*, from 1966.

In these precious pages, one finds the perspective of a journalist covering the Great Depression, World War II, and Vietnam; the testimony of a citizen concerned with the environment, poverty, and racism; the confidences of a man reflecting on the places where he lived and remembering dear friends. *America and the Americans and Other Texts* is an essential portrait of John Steinbeck and an invaluable document for better understanding his country.
