Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Travels with Charley in Search of America, originally published in 1962, provides an intimate and personal look at one of America?s most beloved writers in the later years of his life?a self-portrait of a man who never wrote an explicit autobiography. It was written during a time of upheaval and racial tension in the South?which Steinbeck witnessed firsthand?and is a stunning evocation of America on the eve of a tumultuous decade.
Synopsis:
Penguin Classics is proud to present these seminal works to a new generation of readersand to the many who revisit them again and again.
