Comment: Kino is a humble fisherman who runs India peaceful days with Juana, his wife and baby Quiyitito until he discovers the greatest pearl in the world. To save his son at risk of dying following a scorpion sting, Kino sees the pearl, a sign of providence that we must operate at all costs. In his world of simple happiness, his life will begin to tilt in hatred and violence. This story tells how some philosophical miserable fates are sometimes doomed to never change. With candor John Steinbeck tells us this sad story and we urge the outset, it will end badly. The scenario repeats itself since the dawn of time and shows how Life can be unfair.
With these words the author begins his story: " In the city, tells the story of a large pearl - how it was found and then lost again, the history of Kino, the fisherman, his wife Juana and their baby, Coyotito. And as history has so often been told, it is rooted in the memory of all. However, such old tales that remain in the hearts of men, we no longer find the good and bad, black and white, grace and the curse - with no intermediate shades. If this story is a parable, perhaps everyone will he his own corporation and he discovers the meaning of his own life. Anyway, it is said in the city ... "
This is a sad tribute to human history ... A story very readable and accessible to all readers.
