SYNOPSIS
The Pearl is a haunting and timeless tale of the dangers of unexpected wealth by Nobel prizewinner John Steinbeck, author of The Grapes of Wrath. It is one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic, outspoken, first.
Kino is a desperately poor Mexican pearl diver. But when he finds 'The Pearl of the World' he believes that his life will be magically transformed. Obsessed by his dreams, Kino is blind to the greed, fear and even violence the pearl arouses in his neighbours - and himself.
The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for young adults. From political awakening, war and unrequited love to addiction, teenage pregnancy and nuclear holocaust, The Originals confront big issues and articulate difficult truths. The collection includes: The Outsiders - S.E. Hinton, I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith, Postcards from No Man's Land - Aidan Chambers, After the First Death - Robert Cormier, Dear Nobody - Berlie Doherty, The Endless Steppe - Esther Hautzig, Buddy - Nigel Hinton, Across the Barricades - Joan Lingard, The Twelfth Day of July - Joan Lingard, No Turning Back - Beverley Naidoo, Z for Zachariah - Richard C. O'Brien, The Wave - Morton Rhue, The Red Pony - John Steinbeck, The Pearl - John Steinbeck, Stone Cold - Robert Swindells.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Steinbeck
PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1962
John Steinbeck nasceu em Salinas, na Califórnia, em 1902, numa família de parcos haveres. Chegou a frequentar a Universidade de Stanford, sem concluir nenhuma licenciatura. Em 1925 foi para Nova Iorque, onde tentou uma carreira de escritor, cedo regressando à Califórnia sem ter obtido qualquer sucesso. Alcançou o seu primeiro êxito em 1935, com O Milagre de São Francisco (Tortilla Flat, na edição original), confirmado depois, em 1937, com a novela Ratos e Homens. A sua ficção está marcada por uma imensa preocupação com os problemas dos trabalhadores rurais e também por um grande fascínio para com a terra. Em 1939, publicaria aquela que, por muitos, é considerada a sua obra-prima, As Vinhas da Ira. Entre os seus livros, destacam-se ainda os romances A Leste do Paraíso (1952) e O Inverno do Nosso Descontentamento (1961), bem como Viagens com o Charley (1962), em que relata uma viagem de três meses por quarenta estados norte-americanos. Recebeu o Prémio Nobel da Literatura em 1962. Faleceu em Nova Iorque, a 20 de dezembro de 1968.
