About this product

Product Information

Steinbeck's tough yet charming portrait of people on the margins of society, dependant on one another for both physical and emotional survival A Penguin Classic Published in 1945, Cannery Row focuses on the acceptance of life as it is both the exuberance of community and the loneliness of the individual. Drawing on his memories of the real inhabitants of Monterey, California, including longtime friend Ed Ricketts, Steinbeck interweaves the stories of Doc, Dora, Mack and his boys, Lee Chong, and the other characters in this world where only the fittest survive, to create a novel that is at once one of his most humorous and poignant works. In her introduction, Susan Shillinglaw shows how the novel expresses, both in style and theme, much that is essentially Steinbeck: "Scientific detachment, empathy toward the lonely and depressed . . . and, at the darkest level . . . the terror of isolation and nothingness." For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,800 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

  • A life changing experiance, Highly recommend

    I first read this book in High School back in the 70's. This, and other Steinbeck novels, helped me start looking at people, who were different than myself, as individual people, not just as a member of whatever group I was linking them with. I found Cannery Row to be one of the pieces that helped open my eyes, and my heart, to the diversity of mankind, something we could use a little more of these days. Steinbeck is one of the greatest American authors, and Cannery Row is one of his finest works. Highly recommend this book.

  • John Steinbeck wrote this short novel to uplift America in a time of challenges.

    The book was just what I needed for a book club read. It was a good bargain and the service was excellent.

  • Ocean lover book

    I almost always love what steinbeck has written!!!! Combine his writing with a story about the ocean and i was hooked. This is a story about the town people of Cannery Row in the 50's the spot where Montery Bay Aquirium now sits. Doc is the main person the stroy revolves around his life. He collects sea creatures at low tide for profit and pays people who don't have much money to help him. The towns people want to throw him a party and it gets out of hand. If you like steinbeck and the ocean you will enjoy this book!!!!!

  • Classic read!

    Great book for all time! Classic!
