Description
The Long Valley is a collection of short stories by John Steinbeck, set in the idyllic Salinas Valley in California. These stories reflect Steinbeck's concerns with the tensions between town and city, labourers and owners, past and present.
Included in this collection are two celebrated tales, "The Murderer" and "The Chrysanthemums". Steinbeck's writing explores the struggles of simple people to find their place in the world, and the ways in which the past and present intersect.
This collection serves as an ideal introduction to Steinbeck's work, offering a glimpse into his unique perspective on the human experience.
