The Pearl

by John Steinbeck
$5.90 Now $3.90 Save 34%
The Pearl - Thryft
The Pearl - Thryft

Precious pearl becomes man's haunting burden.

If you're drawn to tales that blend simplicity with deep life lessons, Steinbeck's "The Pearl" is a must-read. You'll journey with the protagonist as the blessing of sudden fortune reveals its true nature as a curse, a narrative filled with symbolism and themes as relevant today as when it was penned. This novel is a short but powerful parable on the corrupting nature of wealth and the true cost of ambition, perfect for an afternoon of profound reflection.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
