From Recorded Books:

After the phenomenal success of The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck should have enjoyed the fame, the wealth, and the Pulitzer Prize this book brought to him. But the public spotlight made him uneasy. In 1944, as he considered the personal impact of his prosperity, Steinbeck began The Pearl. Reworking an ancient legend, Steinbeck created a powerful parable of modern man’s preoccupation with materialism, money, and power. The story is of Keno, a poor fisherman who finds a great, luminous pearl. Although he is sure the fortune it represents will solve all his problems, Keno eventually realizes that the pearl has marked his life forever. The Pearl is a moving tragedy, written in language that is simple yet eloquent. Narrator Frank Muller adds a dramatic intensity and urgency to this timeless work from one of the greatest authors of the 20th century.

I read this book a long time ago, but from what I can remember Coyotito, the child, dies because he is shoot by those greedy guys which were following his familly. No matter what some would say, this is a wonderful book, and Steinbeck is a great writter. All should, first of all, read this. After all, it has not got the size of -War and peace-. Come on!

I personally would want to help those in your situation but I am merely an uploader, a Romanian one, who, fascinated by some readings, thought he could make a contribution by posting some of the works that he could discover on the Internet. I can only advise to browse different torrents and hope that those interested will find what they need.

The reader is excellent--the story sucks the cesspool of human misery.

@buzzclick500 Yea i love to read but im more into fantasy like Harry Potter (!!!) Fablehaven, and the Percy Jackson Series. I read Steinbeck's work for language arts class :P

@kittykatz428 : If description is what you want, try reading the Marquis de Sade--get your parents permission first, 'cause it COULD traumatize you for life. Edward Lewis Wallant is good, "The Tenants of Moonbloom"(one of my all-time favorites). Also, "It Can't Happen Here", by Sinclair Lewis.

@kittykatz428 : All a writer really is(and I'm certainly not putting us down as a group)is someone who compulsively puts words onto paper. Some of the best ones can't hold a normal, decent conversation with another person. I like some of Ann Rices work, but I wouldn't want to converse with her--she's long-winded.

@kittykatz428 : Good comment. I've been reading since I was 5, and writing comprehensively at 9. Stephen King is good, and I had that opinion long before I knew that he also teaches English. ;])
