166 6c97b2f4-67db-4dae-b299-56839de82ff0 Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck calibre (0.8.17) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 1994-01-17T08:00:00+00:00 SUMMARY: While the powerlessness of the laboring class is a recurring theme in Steinbeck's work of the late 1930s, he narrowed his focus when composing "Of Mice and Men" (1937), creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. But though the scope is narrow, the theme is universal; a friendship and a shared dream that makes an individual's existence meaningful.
