The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized—and sometimes outraged—millions of readers. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

A Penguin Classic

First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.

This Penguin Classics edition contains an introduction and notes by Steinbeck scholar Robert Demott.

红学所的校注本已印行二十五年，其间1994年曾做过一次修订，又十几年过去，2008年推出修订第三版，体现了新的校注成果和科研成果。
关于《红楼梦》的作者，原本就有多种说法及推想，“前八十回曹雪芹著、后四十回高鹗续”的说法只是其中之一，这次修订中校注者改为“前八十回曹雪芹著；后四十回无名氏续，程伟元、高鹗整理”，应当是一种更科学的表述，体现了校注者对这一问题的新的认识。
现在这个修订后的《红楼梦》是更加完善。

A horse is a horse of course unless of course the horse is Black Beauty. Animal-loving children have been devoted to Black Beauty throughout this century, and no doubt will continue through the next. Although Anna Sewell's classic paints a clear picture of turn-of-the-century London, its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness.
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails--in a gentle, 19th-century way--against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all. (Ages 9 to 12) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

In this abridgement of Sewell's classic story, McKinley has managed nicely to retain Beauty's unique voice as well as the most-remembered stories, while making the text more accessible to younger readers. Jeffers's fine ink illustrations will satisfy even the most demanding of horse-lovers with her ability to capture each horse's personality. This version brings back the sharpness of the cruelty towards Beauty and his companions, and McKinley has rightfully retained the pain and the ugliness of some of the incidents. Children will still weep at the death of Ginger, and Jeffers's portrayal of the barn fire is quite frightening. It's an elegant edition, which will linger with readers until they are ready to tackle the original. (All ages

Grade 2-5 Sewell's classic tale of ahorse's fortunes and adversities has been a favorite since it was written over 100 years ago. Now McKinley offers a new abridgment which, while honing the original almost to spareness, loses none of the beauty of Sewell's poetic prose. Although some of the less important incidents and descriptive passages have necessarily been omitted, there is still every essential element of the plot here to delight readers as Black Beauty's story unfolds. But it is Jeffers' illustrations (pen-and-ink with watercolor wash) that bring this book to a level above the ordinary. Intensely yet sensitively wrought, there is a fine attention to detail, down to veins and quivering nostrils. The horses are never allowed to descend to the anthropomorphic tone of the text, and although Jeffers' human portrayals suffer by comparison with their equine counterparts, they are nonetheless keenly done. Given the demand for simpler versions of children's classics, this one won't stay on the shelf long; it is wonderful as a read-aloud, or for independent readers.

From a life of comfort to one of labor, the famous horse, Black Beauty, encounters both good and bad people while revealing how animals suffer as much from thoughtlessness as from malice. This classic makes the transition from the written to the spoken word with flair and is as varied and interesting as the characters themselves. Lambert uses a forceful and well-paced narrative style, and his vocal characterizations are just right. This well-crafted audio presentation tells Black Beauty's story in all its splendor. M.R.

A handsome foal with promising beginnings is passed from owner to owner and soon learns the particular cruelties of hard masters and the rich in this horse story.

When I was a child I loved animals, especially horses. Yet I couldnt resist teasing them, even being cruel to them. BLACK BEAUTY was one of my favorite books, and I read it over and over again. It helped me realize that animals should be treated with compassion. -- Marian Flandrick Bray, author of horse stories, including Flight of the Swan in the anthology HERDS OF THUNDER, MANES OF GOLD --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

德国著名漫画家埃·奥·卜劳恩的连环漫画《父与子》已风靡世界半个多世纪，画中的“父”与“子”的形象实际上是画家自己与儿子的真实写照。1934年12月当《父与子》最初与读者见面时，画家天真无邪的儿子才只有3岁。联邦德国《斯卡拉》杂志曾发表过一幅卜劳恩伏在地上给儿子当马骑的照片，并解释道：卜劳恩和儿子克里斯蒂安在一起这样无忧无虑的日子尽管很短暂，而连环漫画《父与子》的素材多来源于此。”这一幅幅小巧精湛的画面闪烁着智慧之光，无言地流泻出纯真的赤子之情与融融的天伦之乐，其艺术魅力征服过无数读者的心。
