Ulica Nadbrzeżna
Ulica Nadbrzeżna położona w ubogiej dzielnicy portowego miasta Monterey jest domem „dziwek, alfonsów, szulerów”, ale wystarczy spojrzeć z innej perspektywy, by uznać, że to „święte, aniołowie, męczennicy i błogosławieni”. Wśród nich żyją Henry, malarz zbierający kawałki drewna, by zbudować łódź, Lee Chong – właściciel niewielkiego sklepu, w którym jest wszystko, i Doktor z laboratorium biologicznego, doglądający chorych i leczący nieszczęśliwe dusze. To zaledwie kilka budynków, ale ludzie i historie, które skrywa ulica, emanują miłością, ciepłem, zrozumieniem i przywracają wiarę w proste wartości. Opublikowany w 1954 roku „Cudowny Czwartek” opisuje losy tych samych i nowych mieszkańców dzielnicy tuż po drugiej wojnie światowej. John Steinbeck (1902 – 1968) – amerykański powieściopisarz, laureat literackiej Nagrody Nobla 1962 za „realistyczny i poetycki dar, połączony z subtelnym humorem i ostrym widzeniem spraw społecznych". Jego najbardziej znane powieści to „Grona gniewu”, „Myszy i ludzie”, „Na wschód od Edenu” i „Tortilla Flat”. W 1982 roku na postawie „Ulicy Nadbrzeżnej” i „Cudownego czwartku” powstał film w reżyserii Davida S. Warda. W rolach głównych wystąpili Debra Winger i Nick Nolte. Copyright © John Steinbeck, 1945.

The Harvest Gypsies
Gathered in this important volume are seven newspaper articles on migrant farm workers that John Steinbeck wrote for <i>The San Francisco News</i> in 1936, three years before <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i>. With the inquisitiveness of an investigative reporter and the emotional power of a novelist in his prime, Steinbeck toured the squatters' camps and Hoovervilles of California. <i>The Harvest Gypsies</i> gives us an eyewitness account of the horrendous Dust Bowl migration, a major event in California history, and provides the factual foundation for Steinbeck’s masterpiece, <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i>. Included are twenty-two photographs by Dorothea Lange and others, many of which accompanied Steinbeck's original articles.
