{"product_id":"the-forgotten-village-john-steinbeck-9780143117186","title":"The Forgotten Village: Life in a Mexican Village","description":"The novelist who wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e and the director who produced \u003ci\u003eCrisis \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLights Out in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e combined their superb talents to tell the story of the coming of modern medicine to the natives of Mexico. There have been several notable examples of this pen-camera method of narration, but \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Village\u003c\/i\u003e is unique among them in that Steinbeck wrote the text before a single picture was shot. The book and the movie from which \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Village\u003c\/i\u003e was made have a continuity and a dramatic growth not to be found in typical documentary films of the time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From this wealth of pictures, 136 photographs were selected for their intrinsic beauty and for the graceful harmony with which they accompany Steinbeck's text. This new script-photograph technique of narration conveys its ideas with unexcelled brilliance and immediacy. In the hands of such master storytellers as Steinbeck and Kline, it makes the reader catch his breath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Steinbeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143117181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143117186\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 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"John Steinbeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44245031420159,"sku":"9780143117186","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_954fc84b-0ed7-45e5-af2c-ec854cf58019.jpg?v=1693925728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-forgotten-village-john-steinbeck-9780143117186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
