Steinbeck's Story
magnum opus of all authors. An American above all, born on February 27, 1902, in Salinas,
California. hence all his publications and work was created in west coast California. Steinbeck had a
pleased childhood, with his three sisters and had a happy life. it is said that he decided to be an
author at the age of 14.often locking himself in his bedroom to write poems and stories. In 1919, Steinbeck enrolled at Stanford University, a decision that had more to do with pleasing his parents than anything else. He lived the dream of any distinguished person at his age.Over the next six years, Steinbeck drifted in and out of school, eventually dropping out for good in 1925, without a degree.
Early Life
Following his dropout from Stanford, he tried to a "freelance photographer", moved to New York City, where he found work as a construction worker and a newspaper reporter, but then got back to California, where he took a job as a caretaker in Lake Tahoe. It was during this time that Steinbeck wrote his first novel, Cup Of Gold(1929), and met and married his first wife, Carol Hennaing. and for the next 10 years with his continual support from his loving wife he continued on writing wonderful adventurous stories.
Some great stories
The Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933), received tepid reviews. It wasn't until Tortilla Flat (1935), a bodaciously funny novel about partisan life in the Monterrey region, California, was released that the writer achieved real success. Steinbeck struck a more victorious work with In Dubious Battle (1936), and The Long Valley (1938), a collection of short stories. The greatest and probably most renowned is "Of Mice and Men" (1937).
Older years
Following the great fame he gained from his stories and novels, he served as a war correspondent for the New York Herald. during WWII.Steinbeck died of heart disease on December 20, 1968, at his home in New York City.
