Book description

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. A haunting and timeless tale of wealth and the evil it can bring. Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck is remembered as one of the greatest and best-loved American writers of the twentieth century. His complete works are published by Penguin.
