The Long Valley (Twentieth-century Classics)

The Long Valley (Twentieth-century Classics)

First published in 1938, this volume of stories collected with the encouragement of his longtime editor Pascal Covici serves as a wonderful introduction to the work of Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck. Set in the beautiful Salinas Valley of California, where simple people farm the land and struggle to find a place for themselves in the world, these stories reflect Steinbeckâ€™s characteristic interests: the tensions between town and country, laborers and owners, past and present. Included here are the O. Henry Prize-winning story â€œThe Murderâ€; â€œThe Chrysanthemums,â€ perhaps Steinbeckâ€™s most challenging story, both personally and artistically; â€œFlight,â€ â€œThe Snake,â€ â€œThe White Quail,â€ and the classic tales of â€œThe Red Pony.â€ With an introduction and notes by John H. Timmerman.
