{"product_id":"of-mice-and-men-john-steinbeck-9780143117209","title":"Of Mice and Men: A Play in Three Acts","description":"Celebrating its 75th anniversary, John Steinbeck's \u003ci\u003eOf Mice and Men\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of America's most widely read and beloved novels. Here is Steinbeck's dramatic adaptation of his novel-as-play, which received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1937-1938 and has featured a number of actors who have played the iconic roles of George and Lennie on stage and film, including James Earl Jones, John Malkovich and Gary Sinise.From the Nobel Prize-winning author of \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEast of Eden\u003c\/i\u003e, this classic story of an unlikely pair, two migrant workers in California during the Great Depression who grasp for their American Dream, profoundly touches readers and audiences alike. George and his simple-minded friend Lenny dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own--a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like \"the best laid schemes o'mice an' men,\" begin to go awry.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOf Mice and Men\u003c\/i\u003e also represents an experiment in form, as Steinbeck described his work, \"a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands.\" A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Steinbeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143117203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143117209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e8665 \/ Of Mice and Men\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Steinbeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048616063231,"sku":"9780143117209","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9d6b99f-9061-44d7-87f9-656d180909b3.jpg?v=1684996808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-mice-and-men-john-steinbeck-9780143117209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
