About This Item

New York: Covici-Friede, 1937. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First edition. Near fine in a price-clipped, good or better dustwrapper with some chipping near the bottom of the front flap fold, and a large but faint dampstain. An uncommon play, adapted by Steinbeck from his own novel. Filmed several times, first and most notably as the 1939 Lewis Milestone film with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney, Jr. in the leading roles, and which lost out to *Gone With The Wind* for a Best Picture Oscar in possibly Hollywood's greatest year (other "losers" that year included *The Grapes of Wrath, Dark Victory, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, The Wizard of Oz, Ninotchka, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington*, and *Wuthering Heights*).

Synopsis

Of Mice and Men is a novella written by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it tells the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers during the Great Depression in California. An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own—a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like "the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry.  Of Mice and Men explores themes of human interaction, dependence, and the damaging effects of isolation.
