Ce classique de Steinbeck nous plonge dans la Californie de la Grande Dépression aux côtés de George et Lennie. Une histoire d'amitié bouleversante, de rêves brisés et d'innocence perdue dans un monde trop cruel.

MY VERDICT:
#JohnSteinbeck in his full psychological power: a tense family drama and a sharp look at American greed that still hits home.

“The things we admire in men, #kindness and #generosity, #openness, #honesty, #understanding and feeling are the concomitants of #failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, #greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, #egotism and #self-interest are the traits of success.” - #JohnSteinbeck

Today is a sad day. I learned that a man who I would have loved to be in my life passed on March 15. Here’s to you, Samuel Hamilton. 😢 #eastofeden #johnsteinbeck

The sky felt high. It felt like anything I wanted, anything I felt, was there. 1/10

A pen sketch of a red horse with quotes from John Steinbeck's The Red Pony. Quotes: "A red pony colt was looking at him out of the stall." "--why a little rain don't hurt a horse." "The red fearless eyes still looked at him, impersonal and unafraid and detached." "'Jody,' he he explained. 'the buzzard didn't kill the pony. Don't you know that?'" "The buzzard didn't kill the pony."
here is a page from my reading journal as I logged my most recent read! The Red Pony was a lot more emotionally resonant with me than I expected. Apologies for the spoilers! #booksky #journaling #classiclit #johnsteinbeck

Happy Birthday John Steinbeck. (RIP) (Yesterday) #HappyBirthdayJohnSteinbeck #JohnSteinbeck #Birthday #Legend #Legends
whole mythologies have risen around the writer’s portrait, sagas unfold on how to capture a writer’s likeness without unleashing the lurking narcissism — a theatre of glasses, spines of books standing in for depth.
meanwhile, john steinbeck: hold my beer. 🧡

Babam ömründe mektup yazmış değildir. Hep söylediği bir sözü vardır.
"Bir lafı birine ağzımla söyleyemiyorsam, demek o laf yazılacak kadar önemli değil" der.
