First published in 1947, John Steinbeck's parable is a literary jewel.
Kino is a Mexican pearl-fisher in the Gulf of California. When he and his wife, Juana, have a baby, their joy is complete . . . until the infant is bitten by a scorpion. Kino finds a great pearl worth a fortune, far more than enough to pay the doctor needed to save the baby's life, but it brings only tragedy and evil to his family. A masterpiece of American literature.TLEN 000000120033Pd i 4 LAMEUUULAME3.98.4UUUUUUUUUUU^ ( 'F4hѶ]PP1tDDO;p\b "~興˻%Kb @ dɓ& @x 1 % $c?"dɓ&Oob?@d`2dӴ2<
