Description: Based on a Mexican folk tale, the story follows Kino, a poor diver, as he finds a pearl of exquisite beauty and enormous size, a stone as “perfect as the moon”. He believes it will transform his life beyond measure, a transfer of riches and happiness, but his world becomes polluted by his discovery. Steinbeck writes poetically about greed’s capacity to corrupt man’s soul, the nature of evil and love’s redemptive power. This copy was published by Heinemann Educational Books in 1973.
