«La perla» is the short novel by John Steinbeck, published by Noguer y Caralt in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
Kino, a fisherman, finds a pearl of extraordinary beauty that transforms his life and that of his son Coyotito. The discovery, however, ignites the greed of his community and becomes a tragic symbol of the human condition, hope, and the price of dreams.
The work was originally published in 1947 under the title «The Pearl»; this Spanish edition appeared in 1986.
A classic of American literature, a common school reading, and an option for those seeking short narratives with social depth.
