April 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the first Viking hardcover publication of Steinbeck's crowning literary achievement

First published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into haves and have-nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity.

A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man's fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman's stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes the very nature of equality and justice in America. As Don DeLillo has claimed, Steinbeck "shaped a geography of conscience" with this novel where "there is something at stake in every sentence." Beyond that--for emotional urgency, evocative power, sustained impact, prophetic reach, and continued controversy--The Grapes of Wrath is perhaps the most American of American classics.

To commemorate the book's 75th anniversary, this volume is modeled on the first edition, featuring the original cover illustration by Elmer Hader and specially designed endpapers by Michael Schwab.

Good Value, Nice Fabric, But Could Have Better Finishing.
I'm 5'3 and 125# and the size small was a near perfect fit, although I hope I don't gain any weight. These have an elastic waistband in addition to the drawstring and the elastic is pretty strong, so if you are on the border between sizes, I'd recommend sizing up. I was a little annoyed with how these arrived - they come in a box, but inside the box the set I got was balled up in and in a plastic bag then shoved into the box. I suspect I may have gotten a set that was a return, because I can't imagine them being packaged that way out of the factory. Since these are primarily linen, the result of this type of packing is that they were so wrinkled I nearly sent them straight back! I tried them on anyway and since they fit me well, I decided to keep them, but I hope that most of the wrinkles come out in the wash, otherwise I'll have to haul out the iron which I haven't had to do in ages. I don't wear shorts all that often, but since these were a linen blend and every summer seems to be getting hotter, I thought these would be comfortable to wear on those 90+ degree days. Linen is comfortable and breathable and cotton does a good job of wicking away moisture, so it's the perfect blend for the hottest and stickiest days of summer. They aren't too short, which is a plus. I did need to snip a lot of loose strings off of these, so these could have a nicer finish, but for less than $20/pair, I'm not too fussed about it. I think these will wash up well and will look a lot better once ironed, but hopefully, I'll only have to iron them once to get them into the right shape. If they need to be ironed every time they're washed, they'll probably be relegated to the back of my closet where my least favorite clothes go to die, because who has time to iron??!!

Not linen
These aren’t linen, these are microfiber shorts. Fabric feels very cheap.

True To Size
These shorts fit true to size and are so comfortable. They have a drawstring waist, so you can adjust them for the best fit and wide legs. They are 55% linen and 45% cotton so they keep you feeling cool. The classic colors go with nearly any other colors or designs, making them stretch your wardrobe potential and saving you money. They were extremely wrinkled upon arrival, so I used my fabric steamer, and within 5 min they looked perfect. I love these shorts and wear them all the time!
