«La perla» is the novel by John Steinbeck, published by Bibliotex in hardback (95 pages, in Spanish).
Kino, a humble fisherman, finds a pearl of enormous value when his son Coyotito is stung by a scorpion. What should be a blessing awakens the greed of his community and pits him against the powerful; the novel shows how fortune alters human relationships and becomes a threat.
The edition includes a prologue by Jesús Pardo and a translation by Horacio Vázquez Rial. The original work, The Pearl, was published in 1947.
A common reading in schools, suitable for readers seeking a reflection on greed, inequality and the human condition.
