John Steinbeck

♥The American writer, John Steinbeck, was born in California in 1902. His ancestors were from Europe: from Germany on his father's side and Ireland on his mother's side. The name Steinbeck is German. His father was a civil servant and his mother was a teacher. It was his mother who taught him to read and encouraged him to become a writer.
♥ After high school, Steinbeck went to Stanford University to study English, but he left in 1925 without a degree and went to live in New York to try to become a writer. His first three novels were not success. He had to continue working in badly paid jobs. It was not until 1939 that he became famous, when The Grapes of Wrath won an influential prize. The Grapes of Wrath is a great story. It was also a novel in which Steinbeck wrote about the lives of the poor working Americans during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Steinbeck was respected for telling the truth about his country and for forcing people to think about the problems of the country's poor. Steinbeck was a very private person who hated publicity.
