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.

Synopsis:

A fisherman finds the great pearl, only to lose it again. Re-issue of Steinbeck's classic.

Chasing the dream. This story contains it all to make you laugh, cry and then sit back and think about how true this story really is. We all chase dreams and when our luck changes for the better we want more. The wife sees more clearly and is more level headed knowing that she will be there beside her husband no matter what. She is his pearl.
