«Uomini e topi» is the short novel by John Steinbeck published by Bompiani in paperback (128 pages, in Italian).
Set during the Great Depression, it follows George Milton and Lennie Small, two itinerant workers travelling across California looking for work on ranches. Between them grows a friendship marked by physical and mental contrast, and by the shared dream of owning a small farm; that project sustains them in an environment of loneliness and social harshness.
The original text was published in 1937; this Bompiani edition is from 1984 and includes the translation by Cesare Pavese. It is part of the I grandi tascabili collection.
For readers of classic fiction and social narrative of the Great Depression.
