OF MICE AND MEN

DRIFTERS IN SEARCH OF WORK, GEORGE AND HIS SIMPLE-MINDED FRIEND LENNIE, HAVE NOTHING IN THE WORLD EXCEPT EACH OTHER - AND A DREAM. A DREAM THAT ONE DAY THEY WILL HAVE SOME LAND OF THEIR OWN. EVENTUALLY THEY FIND WORK ON A RANCH, BUT THEIR HOPES ARE DOOMED AS LENNIE - STRUGGLING AGAINST EXTREME CRUELTY, MISUNDERSTANDING AND JEALOUSY - BECOMES A VICTIM OF HIS OWN STRENGTH. TACKLING UNIVERSAL THEMES, FRIENDSHIP AND A SHARED VISION, AND GIVING A VOICE TO AMERICA'S LONELY AND DISPOSSESED, "OF MICE AND MEN" REMAINS STEINBECK'S MOST POPULAR WORK.
