Gây sốc và gây tranh cãi khi nó được xuất bản lần đầu tiên vào năm 1939, sử thi đoạt giải Pulitzer của Steinbeck vẫn là kiệt tác không thể tranh cãi của ông. Lấy bối cảnh là vùng cát bụi Oklahoma và cuộc sống di cư của người California, phim kể về gia đình Joad, người cũng như hàng ngàn người khác, buộc phải đi về phương Tây để tìm kiếm miền đất hứa. Câu chuyện của họ là những hy vọng hão huyền, những khát khao bị ngăn cản và những giấc mơ tan vỡ, nhưng từ đau khổ của họ, Steinbeck đã tạo ra một bộ phim truyền hình đậm chất con người, nhưng hùng vĩ trong tầm nhìn quy mô và đạo đức; một lời ca ngợi hùng hồn về sức chịu đựng và phẩm giá của tinh thần con người.
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of dust bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of the Joad family, wo, like thousands of others, are forced to travel West in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision; an eloquent tribute to the endurance and dignity of the human spirit.
