The Pearl

Mexican pearl diver's fortune breeds despair.

'The Pearl' by John Steinbeck is a timeless novella that packs a punch in a few short pages. Through the simple tale of a pearl diver's discovery, it challenges the very notions of fortune, greed, and the heavy cost of ambition. It's a book that melds simplicity with profundity, offering layers of meaning beneath the surface narrative. If you appreciate stories that provoke thought on the human condition and the dark side of luck, then this compact Steinbeck masterpiece could provide rich rewards for your contemplation.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
