Of Mice and Men: the Collected Novellas of John Steinbeck

About This Novel
George and Lennie are wandering workers with no fixed abode. Lennie is born with supernatural powers but has the mind of a child and often gets into trouble; George always helps him clean up his messes. The two men trust each other and depend on each other. They long for their own land to grow vegetables, raise pigs, and raise Lennie's beloved rabbits, where no one will ever fire them. But life always goes against expectations. Lenny's trouble again shattered the dream of the two people, and the beautiful life they longed for completely came to nothing... The little people living at the bottom of society pursue their dreams like innocent children, but when their dreams dry up, they run away like mice. No matter humans or mice, they cannot escape the unpredictable fate. As the title of the book implies: "Of mice and men alike, the best intentions often come to nothing."
