Summary

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith。

Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon。 Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil。


Drifters in search of work, George and his childlike friend Lennie have nothing in the world except the clothes on their back - and a dream that one day they will have some land of their own。 Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are dashed as Lennie becomes a victim of his own strength。 Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films。

had to read for school, so naturally some enjoyment would have been removed just because of how school reads go。 idk this book just makes me sad。 the last chapter especially。

I read this book for school。 It was okay , but very problematic, since it was written in 1937。 The author is white, and he used the 'n' word a lot in this book, which I did not agree with。 There was good foreshadowing in this book and the ending was pretty sad。 Just the story overall , and the problematic things, brings this book to the rating I gave it。 I would not recommend this book overall, as it did not age well and is pretty boring。 I read this book for school。 It was okay , but very problematic, since it was written in 1937。 The author is white, and he used the 'n' word a lot in this book, which I did not agree with。 There was good foreshadowing in this book and the ending was pretty sad。 Just the story overall , and the problematic things, brings this book to the rating I gave it。 I would not recommend this book overall, as it did not age well and is pretty boring。 。。。more

Je l'avais lu il y a des années dans ma langue maternelle lorsque j'étais adolescent, et maintenant, en tant qu'adulte, lire la même histoire dans une langue que je venais d'apprendre était comme revoir le même rêve, mais dans une autre pièce。 Seulement maintenant, je pouvais mieux lire entre les lignes et mieux comprendre le contexte, mais le sentiment de l'histoire ne change pas。 Je l'avais lu il y a des années dans ma langue maternelle lorsque j'étais adolescent, et maintenant, en tant qu'adulte, lire la même histoire dans une langue que je venais d'apprendre était comme revoir le même rêve, mais dans une autre pièce。 Seulement maintenant, je pouvais mieux lire entre les lignes et mieux comprendre le contexte, mais le sentiment de l'histoire ne change pas。 。。。more

Cảm động và chân thực。Đọc cuốn này lại liên tưởng đến thế hệ trẻ, những công nhân lao động cũng chăm chỉ làm việc và mơ mộng về mảnh vườn riêng nhưng tất cả có lẽ chỉ nằm trong trí tưởng tượng của họ。

Lennie selalu bersemangat mendengar semua cerita George。 Tentang keinginan George punya rumah kecil dan lahan sendiri, mereka akan hidup dengan hasil panen dan beberapa hewan ternak。 Lennie boleh mengurus kelinci, itu bagian yang paling Lennie suka。Lennie harus menuruti semua perkataan George jika tidak Lennie akan dapat masalah dan mereka tidak akan bisa mewujudkan impian mereka。Karakter Lennie cukup unik, pergerakan ceritanya juga lumayan cepat。 Aku ikut merasa bahagia saat mereka membicarakan Lennie selalu bersemangat mendengar semua cerita George。 Tentang keinginan George punya rumah kecil dan lahan sendiri, mereka akan hidup dengan hasil panen dan beberapa hewan ternak。 Lennie boleh mengurus kelinci, itu bagian yang paling Lennie suka。Lennie harus menuruti semua perkataan George jika tidak Lennie akan dapat masalah dan mereka tidak akan bisa mewujudkan impian mereka。Karakter Lennie cukup unik, pergerakan ceritanya juga lumayan cepat。 Aku ikut merasa bahagia saat mereka membicarakan tentang membeli lahan dan Candy ikut dalam rencana itu。Keinginan yang terlalu berlebihan bisa berubah jadi obsesi, pada akhirnya tanpa sadar Lennie melakukan kesalahan yang fatal。 Nggak nyangka ada plot twist mendekati akhir dan ceritanya berubah kelam saat menutup novel ini。3。8/5 ⭐ 。。。more

I first read this in high school for class and I enjoyed it so much more this time around。 The character building in this tiny book is amazing。 Wow。 Great writing, sad story。

kinberly reese

I read it in my freshman year。 Rip Mrs。 Dixon I love you

Shubhang Prakhar

A short, nearly perfect and a sad book to read。

kate

honestly just felt really disturbed the whole time

William

Of mice and men is a short story about two men trying to achieve their dream。 The story deals with several heavy topics like racism, hopelessness, and death。

Jill Laster

Sad story。 Read it first in 7th grade and wanted to revisit。

Charlotte Simpson

why am i sobbing。 i spoiled the ending for myself by accident and i really didn’t expect that i would be this sad but im so unwell what。 honestly the writing style is not rly for me and before the last chapter it was a solid 3 stars but if a book can make me this upset it’s got to be well written

Matiiiii

Niestety nie wzbudziła we mnie większych emocji:(

In spite of its brevity, this book packs quite a punch。 I had a good idea where the story was going and I knew, deep in my heart, that George and Lennie's dream, the much-talked about American dream, was doomed from the start。 Lennie Small, with his childlike brain and extraordinary strength, has to be one of the most tragic characters of modern literature。 I felt a motherly urge to protect him in spite of what he did because, like a child, there is an innocence about Lennie that broke my heart。 In spite of its brevity, this book packs quite a punch。 I had a good idea where the story was going and I knew, deep in my heart, that George and Lennie's dream, the much-talked about American dream, was doomed from the start。 Lennie Small, with his childlike brain and extraordinary strength, has to be one of the most tragic characters of modern literature。 I felt a motherly urge to protect him in spite of what he did because, like a child, there is an innocence about Lennie that broke my heart。This is my first Steinbeck。 One of the reasons it too me so long to read it is that I was afraid I wouldn't understand the vernacular style of the conversation that is present throughout the book。 I am relieved to report that, apart from initially thinking 'pitchers' had something to do with baseball, it really wasn't difficult at all to get into the flow and it made the story seem all the more authentic。 Of Mice and Men is a great little book with memorable characters and a very accurate sense of place。 Although this is my first Steinbeck, I am sure it won't be my last。Please be aware that the 'n' word is mentioned quite a few times。 。。。more

Amazing。 The description, the characters。 So much in so slim a volume。

I can see why they teach this in schools

Never ever read this book, you’ll be lucky if u can find it anyways, it’s that old。 It needs to stay in the 1700’s where it belongs。 It’s disturbing, could be useful for a good punishment though, don’t bother grounding your kids, that’s so much effort, just give them this book :) it’s only like 200 pages。。of hell。。
