Language: Eng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why.”They are an unlikely pair: George is \"small and quick and dark of face\"; Lennie, a man of tremendous size, has the mind of a young child. Yet they have formed a \"family,\" clinging together in the face of loneliness and alienation. Laborers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. But George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of land and a shack they can call their own.While the powerlessness of the laboring class is a recurring theme in Steinbeck's work of the late 1930s, he narrowed his focus when composing Of Mice and Men, creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. But though the scope is narrow, the theme is universal: a friendship and a shared dream that makes an individual's existence meaningful.A unique perspective on life's hardships, this story has achieved the status of timeless classic due to its remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steinbe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52367020687642,"sku":"9780881420265","price":136.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/01RmK_J4pJL._FMwebp_6934f41b-fd41-41f8-8387-035dc357342d.webp?v=1781712496","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/of-mice-and-men","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
