The Pearl by John Steinbeck

The Pearl by John Steinbeck

Kino is a pearl diver with a wife, a baby and nothing else. When his son is stung by a scorpion the doctor refuses to treat a family who cannot pay. The next morning Kino brings up the largest pearl anyone has seen.

Steinbeck tells it as a parable — the whole town knows within the hour, the buyers conspire to underpay him, and every person who was indifferent yesterday now has a use for him. Kino's refusal to sell cheap is both entirely right and the thing that destroys everything he has.

Under a hundred pages, taught in schools worldwide, and one of the most devastating short books in American literature.
