What can happen on a bus that runs the route 'The Partisan's Inn' - San Juan de la Cruz in California? What do the passengers have in common, coming from every social class, profession, and age? Why do they loathe each other so much? What peculiarities, what secrets does each one hide inside themselves, and to what extent do these affect their present and future?
With unparalleled mastery, Steinbeck weaves the plot of his work. What is most striking about it is the tenderness, gentility, and humanitarianism. And even when the author is ironic, he never resorts to the vulgar or the base. Calmly, superficially, almost sweetly, he satirizes the flaws that are conventionally considered to characterize people.
With elegant, polished, smooth style, with aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and tightly woven phrases, the famous author captures the interest and attention of his reader from the very first moment.
