Résumé :
|
The Pearl is a novella that tells the story of Kino, a poor pearl diver who discovers an enormous and valuable pearl, which he dubs "the Pearl of the World." Believing this find will bring prosperity and a better future for his family, Kino dreams of education for his son Coyotito and a proper marriage to his partner Juana. However, the pearl's allure incites greed, envy, and violence among the townspeople and within Kino himself. As Kino strives to protect his treasure, he faces escalating dangers that challenge his morals and threaten his family's well-being. Steinbeck's narrative explores themes of ambition, the corrupting power of wealth, and the inherent struggle between good and evil.
