John Steinbeck Series: of Mice and Men
About This Novel
Lenny is two meters tall and frighteningly strong, but has the mind of a child and often gets into trouble. His only friend is George, whom he grew up with. George took him around doing odd jobs to make a living. They have a dream, hoping to one day have their own small piece of land, a cabin, a cow, a rabbit hutch, and some chickens. However, such a humble request is nothing more than a dream. This time, they wandered to a farm. The never-ending wandering life has finally come to an end, but so has the dream. George finally helped Lennie find a place. There, Lenny will never get into trouble again, never be hurt again, never need to run away again... "Of Mice and Men" was first published in 1937. It is one of John Steinbeck's masterpieces. The title of the book comes from the British poet Burns's poem "The best arrangements of mice and men are full of accidents," which implies the tragic fate of little people.
