Steinbeck, who has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, has published this book in 1937, so many people brought their favorite book. It is a tragic Novelle Two men George and Lennie as the main persons who are day laborers on a ranch together. Lennie is a great, tölpelfhafter, intellectually less well informed parent worker who is especially protected and cared for by his friend George. George also ensures that the strong Lennie anyone from clumsiness hurts. Both dream of one day having a common Ranch and so survive the daily harassment in the work. Everything goes on as usual, until one day an accident happens, which represents the friendship of George and Lennie in a sample. John Steinbeck portrayed brilliantly the friendship between two men who have nothing except their friendship and their dreams. A book that one often brings tears in the face. Highly Recommended.
