John Steinbeck was prolific during the Depression and War years: 1930-1945. Not only did he write twenty-seven books, but he put his journalist training into action. As an embedded reporter he performed primary research for his novels, “on the front lines, observing and reporting on the major events of his century: the Depression, World War II, the Cold War, Vietnam” (Parini 2004). In this essay, I claim Steinbeck more profoundly reflected and affected American politics than any other author from 1930 to 1945. As evidence, I provide succinct precis of Steinbeck’s three Depression and three World War II novels.

"The main objective of the work is to study the similarities between Demna Shengelaia’s 'Buried Treasure' and John Steinbeck’s 'The Pearl'. The article presents a comparative analysis of these stories. The work deals with the concept of ‘buried treasure’ in the 20th century American and Georgian literature. It also deals with man’s destiny in the socialist and the capitalist society.''
