    Extractions: 1962 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech I thank the Swedish Academy for finding my work worthy of this highest honor. In my heart there may be doubt that I deserve the Nobel Award over other men of letters whom I hold in respect or reverencebut there is no question of my pleasure and pride in having it for myself. It is customary for the recipient of this award to offer scholarly or personal comment on the nature and direction of literature. However, I think it would be well at this particular time to consider the high duties and responsibilities of the makers of literature. Such is the prestige of the Nobel Award and of this place where I stand that I am impelled, not to speak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession and in the great and good men who have practised it through the ages. Literature was not promulgated by a pale and emasculated critical priesthood singing their litanies in empty churchesnor is it a game for the cloistered elect, the tin-horn mendicants of low-calorie despair. Literature is as old as speech. It grew out of human need for it and it has not changed except to become more needed. The skalds, the bards, the writers are not separate and exclusive. From the beginning, their functions, their duties, their responsibilties have been decreed by our species.

In 1925 he moved to New York City, where he was employed as a bricklayer and reporter. In 1927 after returning to California Steinbeck began his career as a novelist. By the late 1930s, Steinbeck earned both critical recognition and popular success for his populist novels, including Tortilla Flat In Dubious Battle Of Mice and Men (1937) and Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck worked as a World War II correspondent in Italy and Northern Africa for the New York Herald Tribune . After the the he returned to his novels and his later work East of Eden (1952) and the crosscountry travel diary Travels with Charley (1962) were popular but never received the critical acclaim of the 1930's.. In 1962, he received the Nobel Prize for literature "for his realistic as well as imaginative writings, distinguished by a sympathetic humor and keen social perception." Although the Pulitzer Prize winning author was never the subject of an FBI investigation, his name came to the FBI's attention on several occasions during the 1940's as a result of his association with communist front groups

    Extractions: John Steinbeck, Cannery Row novel cover Essay Topics and Critical Commentaries Essay Topics Does Steinbeck assign any positive value to Cannery Row life? Why does Doc choose biology as his profession, and what is the thematic significance of his decision? In such a comparatively short novel, why is so much space given to the repair of the car? Does the car have any symbolic significance? Explain Doc's peculiar response to finding the dead girl in the water, and explain how his reaction is integral to his character. Identify the most significant symbol in the novel and justify your choice. State one possible theme of the novel, and support your position. Give your opinion on why Cannery Row is considered an important novel in the canon of world literature, and why it was seminal in the nomination of Steinbeck as a Nobel Prize winner. Appraise a significant conflict in the novel, and judge its thematic importance. Instructor's Recommendation: I would like to see an essay on Steinbeck's use of characterization in this novel. What type of people are in this novel? How does Steinbeck draw these characters? Through dialogue? Appearances? Actions? Beliefs? What kind of world has these types of inhabitants, and what is Steinbeck saying about it?

28. John Steinbeck - Irodalmi Nobel-díj

    http://www.sk-szeged.hu/kiallitas/steinbeck/nobeldij.html
    
    Extractions: Idézet a Nobel-díj átadásakor mondott beszédbõl: "Among the masters of modern American literature who have already been awarded this prize - from Sinclair Lewis to Ernest Hemingway - Steinbeck more than holds his own, independent in position and achievement. There is in him a strain of grim humor which to some extent redeems his often cruel and crude motif. His sympathies always go out to the oppressed, the misfits, and the distressed. He likes to contrast the simple joy of life with the brutal and cynical craving for money. But in him we find the American temperament also expressed in his great feeling for nature, for the tilled soil, the wasteland, the mountains and the ocean coasts, all an inexhaustible source of inspiration to Steinbeck in the midst of, and beyond, the world of human beings." "A modern amerikai irodalom mesterei között, akiket eddig ezzel a díjjal jutalmaztunk - Sinclair Lewistõl Ernest Hemingway-ig - Steinbeck nem csak saját véleménnyel rendelkezik, hanem kijelentéseiben és tetteiben is független. Van benne némi ijesztõ humor, amely bizonyos mértékig ellensúlyozza a gyakran könyörtelen és nyers alapeszméit. Mindig együttérez az elnyomottakkal, a társadalom számkivetettjeivel és a szükséget szenvedõkkel. Szereti szembeállítani az élet egyszerû élvezetét a pénz brutális és kiábrándult hajszolásával. De megtaláljuk nála az amerikai alkat kifejezõdését is, a természet, a megmûvelt és a mûveletlen föld, a hegyek és a tengerpart iránti vonzódást, melyek Steinbeck számára az emberek világa mellett kimeríthetetlen ihletforrásként szolgálnak."

    Extractions: John Ernst Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, on February 27, 1902 of German and Irish ancestry. His father, John Steinbeck, Sr., served as the County Treasurer while his mother, Olive (Hamilton) Steinbeck, a former school teacher, fostered Steinbeck's love of reading and the written word. During summers he worked as a hired hand on nearby ranches, nourishing his impression of the California countryside and its people. After graduating from Salinas High School in 1919, Steinbeck attended Stanford University. Originally an English major, he pursued a program of independent study and his attendance was sporadic. During this time he worked periodically at various jobs and left Stanford permanently in 1925 to pursue his writing career in New York. However, he was unsuccessful in getting any of his writing published and finally returned to California. His first novel

    Extractions: Wherever lovers of John Steinbeck's work meet up, two words never fail to conjure a smile: Lonesome Harry. Furtive, persecuted, like dissidents swapping a midnight password, these aficionados can only be referring to the last couple of pages in Part 2 of "Travels With Charley." That book is Steinbeck's account of a road trip he took across America in 1960 with his French poodle. Steinbeck was 60 when it came out two years later, which makes the book 40 in this, his centennial year. Those who've been put off it by the received wisdom are missing one of 20th century American literature's sneakiest pleasures. Go ahead, pull it down and crack it open. Two million copies were once in print, there must be one handy somewhere. Halfway through "Travels With Charley," Steinbeck fetches up in Chicago, near the headwaters of Route 66. That's the highway he dubbed "the mother road" in ''The Grapes of Wrath" a nickname that's lasted longer than the road did. So Steinbeck pulls off into Chicago and tries to claim his reserved room at the Ambassador East Hotel. He's tired. Check-in time isn't for hours. Finally, by threatening to conk out right in the lobby, Steinbeck cajoles the desk clerk into offering him a recently vacated room to snooze in before noon. And there, in a room that would deserve a plaque if only Steinbeck had disclosed its number, he makes the acquaintance of Lonesome Harry.

Nació el 27 de febrero de 1902 en Salinas (California), y estudió en la Universidad de Stanford. Durante su juventud trabajó como bracero y recolector de fruta. En La copa de oro (1929), Steinbeck narra la vida y las hazañas del famoso pirata galés del siglo XVII Henry Morgan. A continuación publica Las praderas del cielo (1932), una colección de relatos que describe la vida en una comunidad de granjeros del sur de California. En esta novela aborda por primera vez los temas sociales que caracterizan la mayor parte de su obra. Entre sus primeros libros cabe citar A un dios desconocido (1933), la historia de un granjero cuyas creencias en el culto de la fertilidad pagano le llevan a sacrificar su propia vida durante una época de terrible sequía; Tortilla Flat (1935), un relato entre picaresco y romántico sobre los emigrantes mexicanos establecidos en los alrededores de Monterrey (California); Una vez hubo una guerra (1936), la historia de una huelga de recolectores de fruta, y

    Extractions: American novelist, story writer, playwright, and essayist. Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. He is best remembered for THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1939), a novel widely considered to be a 20th-century classic. The impact of the book has been compared to that of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. The epic about the migration of the Joad family, driven from its bit of land in Oklahoma to California, arose a wide debate about the hard lot of migrant laborers, and helped to put an agricultural reform into effect.
