John steinbeck's tortilla flat6/20/2023 We feel that pre-loved books exude character and evoke memories. Every book is then wrapped in recycled brown paper like the booksellers of old used to do. Books that excite us, inspire creativity, and teach us things we never knew. From London to Paris and Mexico City, we’ve picked up the best literature on our travels for your reading pleasure. Proust’s Paperbacks is a seller of vintage books, found in cities all over the world. This is a collaboration between The Vintage Jeweller and Proust’s Paperbacks. Read reviews and buy Tortilla Flat - (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) by John Steinbeck (Paperback) at Target. This copy was published by Penguin in 1969.Ĭomments: As this is a vintage book, there is some damage to the spine, and to the front cover. Written by Steinbeck in 1935, Tortilla Flat’s central philosophy rejects materialism and embraces the simple things in life: wine, food and friendship, offering escapist literature for those suffering during the Great Depression. Set in Monterey, a Californian fishing port, not long after the Great War, Danny offers shelter to a band of louche and roaming fellow paisanos, men with “a mixture of Spanish, Indian, Mexican, and Caucasian bloods”. Steinbeck’s first commercially successful novel, that put him on the map as a writer to be reckoned with.
