Description

The Pearl is a haunting and powerful tale of the dangers of unexpected wealth. Kino, a desperately poor Mexican pearl diver, finds 'The Pearl of the World' and believes his life will be magically transformed. However, his obsession with the pearl blinds him to the greed, fear, and violence it arouses in those around him.

As Kino's life becomes increasingly consumed by the pearl, he must confront the darker aspects of human nature and the true cost of his newfound wealth. This timeless and thought-provoking story explores the complexities of human desire and the devastating consequences that can follow.

First published by Penguin Books, this edition of The Pearl is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in a powerful and thought-provoking tale of human nature and the consequences of our actions.
