About this product

Product Information

"There it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon." Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a poor diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant son with meager subsistence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino emerges from the sea with a pearl as large as a sea gull's egg, as "perfect as the moon." With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and of security.... A story of classic simplicity, based on a Mexican folk tale, The Pearl explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love.

The book is ok. I wouldn’t call it good condition though. It has writing all over the book and throughout the whole book.

    Anything Steinbeck...

    I've read and reread Steinbeck countless times. The Pearl is one of his finest works. I'm not going to discuss the content because it is Steinbeck and one must read it! The book is laid out well with an excellent easy-to-read font style. It is a pocket book, just the right size to drop into one's purse. Easy to hold while sipping a cup of coffee.

    A poignant short tale about finding happiness

    The Pearl is one of my favorite books.The story revolves around a poor fisher named Kino, who finds a magnificent pearl that he hopes will help his wife and young son,Coyotito.Initially,Kino begins the quest to assume wealth from the pearl with the intent to benefit his family,but ever so slowly,he leads himself on a path to self-destruction,which ultimately leads to a tragedy.I found the underlying message of greed and the meaning of true wealth to be an excellent culmination to the story.The book displays the ability of a well intended individual to stray away from goodness when an opportunity for wealth is prevented.The Pearl delivers a timeless message that all readers will enjoy. 5/5- Excellent

    his book was never receiver how I can review it

    ]I bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget. the book was very interesant but to long still no finish because i don't have it
