John Steinbeck is renowned for his keen social perception and poignant narratives about the American society, particularly during the Great Depression. Notable works include the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Grapes of Wrath," which explores the harsh realities faced by displaced families during the era. He also wrote "Of Mice and Men," a tale of friendship and tragedy among itinerant workers, and "East of Eden," a multi-generational saga set in California. These narratives not only depict the socio-economic struggles but also delve into the complexities of human nature and morality.
