In this classic novella from Nobel Prize–winner John Steinbeck, Mexican diver Kino is following in his father and grandfather’s footsteps, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino’s family with meager substance. But one day, Kino discovers a magnificent pearl—it is as large as a seagull’s egg and as “perfect as the moon”—and with it brings the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. Based on a Mexican folk tale and providing an intricate examination of the fallacy of the American dream, The Pearl explores the secrets of human nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love.
