Steinbeck's short classic novel, translated by Xavier Pàmies, tells the story of Kino, a humble diver who finds a giant pearl. This discovery makes him believe that his life will magically change, allowing him to marry Juana and send his son Coyotito to school. However, Kino becomes obsessed with his dreams and becomes blind to the greed, fear, and violence that the pearl awakens in his environment. The novel explores human nature, the depths of inner evil, and the consequences of rebellion against the powerful.
