Description
“The Long Valley” is a collection of stories first published by Steinbeck in 1938 and established his reputation as one of the leading masters of American prose. Many stories from this remarkable book have already been translated and included in various anthologies, but the complete “The Long Valley” is published in Russian for the first time.
The heroes of Steinbeck’s stories are farmers and workers, bored housewives and peaceful inhabitants of small towns. At first glance, not much happens in their quiet lives—so where does the shadow of some unclear, inexplicable threat come from over their peaceful, cozy existence? Why are ordinary, unremarkable people able, at any moment, to turn into a crowd of bloodthirsty lynchers, and why can the boredom of housewives become the drama of a life lost forever?..
